The Residential Parking Permit Application says boats, RVs, ATVs, trailers and stored vehicles are not eligible for a residential permit, and no vehicle of a resident may remain parked on any street for a continuous period exceeding 72 hours. The Traffic and Parking Regulation Bylaw No. 518, 2018 could not be read, so the detailed street rules for RVs and boats could not be confirmed.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- On your own lot: the bylaws we read set no rule on storing an RV, boat or trailer. The [Zoning Bylaw No. 510, 2018](<https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2021/05/Bylaw-510-2018-Zoning-Bylaw-Consolidated-.pdf>) (s. 202) prohibits a tent or trailer used for habitation in all zones unless a zone expressly provides otherwise.\n- The bylaw notice for trailer parking is $160. It is $100 if paid within 14 days and $240 if paid more than 28 days after receiving the notice.\n- Sleeping in a vehicle on a street is covered by the Parking Regulation Bylaw, which we could not read.\n- Ask the Village Office at 604-937-4100 about parking a trailer or boat on your property. After hours, the Village lists 604-917-0113 for emergencies about roads, including parking (calls only).","sources":[{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/municipal-hall/parking-tickets/","title":"Parking Tickets, Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2025/03/Residential-Parking-Permit-Application-2024-fillable.pdf","title":"Residential Parking Permit Application (PDF), Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2024/09/Bylaw-520-2018-Bylaw-Notice-Enforcement-Bylaw-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 520, 2018 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://belcarra.ca/assets/media/2021/05/Bylaw-510-2018-Zoning-Bylaw-Consolidated-.pdf","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 510, 2018 (PDF, consolidated), Village of Belcarra","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 5 facts was matched to the official text; 1 is recorded as not set."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/belcarra/rv-boat-trailer-parking/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/belcarra/rv-boat-trailer-parking.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/belcarra/rv-boat-trailer-parking.json"}}
