On private lots, the [Zoning Bylaw 846](https://fruitvale.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/846-Zoning-Bylaw-Final-Consolidated.pdf) (s. 5.3.7) does. Recreational vehicles include travel trailers, motorized homes, campers, boats, ATVs, snowmobiles and tent trailers.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- On a street: no parking for more than 48 hours in the same block. No parking overnight to take up temporary residence between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.\n- Downtown (the area on Schedule B): between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., no commercial vehicle, no trailer, and no recreational vehicle over 5,000 kg.\n- On your property in any residential zone: no more than two recreational vehicles outdoors on a lot. In a residential zone other than Rural Residential, none over 5,500 kg licensed gross vehicle weight. One temporary vehicle shelter is allowed in the front yard from October 15 to April 15.\n- We found no rules on RV parking on lots in rural zones, or on sleeping in an RV on a private lot. Ask the Village Office at 250-367-7551.\n- Bylaw notice fines: parking over 48 hours $100; unlawful overnight occupancy $100; downtown parking $150; commercial vehicle in a residential zone $100. Municipal ticket: downtown parking $250 ($200 if paid within 30 days); commercial vehicle in a residential zone $300 ($250). The ticket schedule cites an older bylaw (No. 778), so confirm with the Village.","sources":[{"url":"https://fruitvale.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/967-Traffic-and-Parking-Regulations-Bylaw.pdf","title":"Traffic and Parking Regulations Bylaw No. 967, 2024 (PDF), Village of Fruitvale","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://fruitvale.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/846-Zoning-Bylaw-Final-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 846, consolidated (PDF), Village of Fruitvale","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://fruitvale.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/976-2024-Notice-Enforcement-Bylaw.pdf","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 976, 2024 (PDF), Village of Fruitvale","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://fruitvale.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/921-Municipal-Ticket-Information-Bylaw.pdf","title":"Municipal Ticket Information Bylaw No. 921 (PDF), Village of Fruitvale","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://fruitvale.ca/contact/","title":"Contact, Village of Fruitvale","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 5 of 5 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fruitvale/rv-boat-trailer-parking/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fruitvale/rv-boat-trailer-parking.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fruitvale/rv-boat-trailer-parking.json"}}
