The General Rule
RV and boat parking restrictions are among the most contested HOA rules due to the cost of off-site storage. Common restrictions include prohibition on parking RVs, boats, trailers, and personal watercraft in driveways, time limits for loading and unloading (typically 48–72 hours), prohibition on living in an RV on the property, restrictions on RV storage in backyards if visible from streets or common areas, and allowance for storage in enclosed garages only.
Florida-Specific Rules
Florida has a high density of RV and boat owners. Florida §720 allows HOAs to restrict outdoor storage but enforcement must follow the CC&Rs as written. RV storage in enclosed garages is typically allowed.
Why Your CC&Rs May Be Different
State law sets the minimum floor — but your community's CC&Rs, bylaws, and board-adopted rules may be stricter, may include exceptions, or may have been amended recently. The only way to know exactly what applies to your community is to read your specific governing documents.
Most CC&Rs are 40–120 pages of dense legal language. Finding the exact section that answers your question can take 20–30 minutes — if you can find it at all.
