Recreational Vehicle Storage and Parking

Only one recreational vehicle (RV) or camping equipment shall be parked on the property. This includes a camping trailer, truck trailer or motor travel home, designed and used as temporary living quarters for recreation, camping or travel use.

The vehicle or equipment must be kept clean, presentable and in usable condition. A current vehicle registration license plate must be attached at all times.

Equipment cannot exceed 30 feet in length and 10 feet in height. It must be secured in the case of high winds or a hurricane.

The sale of such equipment must be furnished with a true copy of Section 33-20(f) of the Miami-Dade County Code.

The vehicle parked must be owned or leased by the property’s owner or tenant. An out-of-County house guest of the owner or tenant can also park their vehicle, but for no more than 14 days.

The vehicle must be stored or parked in the rear or side yard behind a line established by the front building line farthest from the street.

Such equipment shall be set back from the side property lines at a distance at least equivalent to the required side setback for the principal building and shall also be set back from the rear property line at least 10 feet.

• No major repairs or overhaul work can be performed on the premises
• When parked on the property, the vehicle or equipment cannot be used for living or sleeping quarters, housekeeping or storage purposes and shall not be attached to any service connection lines except if periodic maintenance is required

Improper parking or storage of recreational vehicles may result in the issuance of a Courtesy Warning Notice.

Both the tenant and property owner may receive notices in connection with enforcement. However, the property owner is ultimately responsible for compliance.

Failure to comply will result in a ticket to the property owner and tenant, in accordance with Chapter 8CC of the Miami-Dade County Code.

Penalties accrue and a lien may be placed on the property if the fines, enforcement costs and administrative costs are not paid or the violation not corrected.

Additional time for compliance may be granted on Courtesy Warning Notices.
