Quick answers
Can I store an RV in an Orlando driveway?
The reviewed city guide does not give a blanket driveway allowance. Its published basic rule specifies an approved, improved surface in a side or rear yard for boats and RVs under 10.5 feet.
What if the RV is 10.5 feet tall or higher?
The city guide says its stated rule pertains to boats and RVs under 10.5 feet. Ask Permitting Services for the rule that applies to a taller vehicle before parking it at the residence.
Do setback and screening rules still apply?
Yes. Orlando directs residents to Permitting Services for the applicable setback and screening requirements, and an added parking surface may need permits and a final inspection.
