How it works

On the street. The Traffic and Use of Highways Bylaw No. 160 has no RV, boat or trailer rule or time limit. General parking bans apply to any vehicle: within 5 m of a hydrant, on a sidewalk or boulevard, in front of a driveway, on a bridge, and on seasonal parking ban routes once the Public Works Manager designates them.

On your lot. In residential zones under the Zoning Bylaw No. 133, in addition to licensed vehicles used by residents, one recreational vehicle, camper or trailer and one pleasure boat may be stored or parked on the same lot as the residential use. One commercial vehicle owned or driven by the occupant may be parked. No vehicle repairs or storage of derelict vehicles in rural or residential zones. No size limit was found.

Good to know

• You may not use a vehicle as living quarters on a highway or in any other public place. On private land, any use in a recreational vehicle is prohibited except in a campground, or temporarily for residential use while the lot is being developed under a valid building permit (maximum 1 year, plus 1 year if the CAO approves).
• Municipal tickets (MTI Bylaw No. 221): living quarters $100 ($50 if paid within 30 days); parking on a sidewalk or boulevard, in front of a driveway or on a seasonal ban route $50 ($25); within 5 m of a fire hydrant $100 ($75).
