A trailer may not be parked on a highway unless it is attached to a motor vehicle. The general parking limit is 72 hours in one spot. The Township of Langley is a separate municipality from the City of Langley.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. On your own property in a residential (R) or single-family residential CD zone, park RVs (motor homes, travel and tent trailers, campers, boats and their trailers) in a rear yard or the part of a side yard behind the front yard setback.\n2. From April 1 to September 30 you may also park one on the front-yard driveway, at least 1.6 m from the inner edge of the sidewalk (or from the pavement edge if there is no sidewalk).\n3. Check your zone in the [Zoning Bylaw 2500](<https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Zoning-Bylaws/Section-100-Administration.pdf>) (s. 107.6) or call Bylaw Enforcement at 604-532-7551.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Nobody may use an RV for living accommodation while it is parked on a highway. No rule on living in an RV on a lot was found in the text read.\n- A vehicle, boat, trailer or RV on front-yard landscaping, visible from other property, is also unsightly under the Community Standards Bylaw.\n- Bylaw notices: $100 for an RV on a street over 48 hours, $100 for living in one on a highway, and $200 for one on front-yard landscaping. No early-payment discount is listed.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/connect/contact-us.aspx","title":"Contact Us - Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Popular-Bylaws/Highway-and-Traffic-Bylaw-(No.-4758).pdf","title":"Highway and Traffic Bylaw 2010 No. 4758 (PDF), Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Zoning-Bylaws/Section-100-Administration.pdf","title":"Zoning Bylaw 1987 No. 2500, Section 100 Administration (PDF), Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Other-Bylaws/Community-Standards-Bylaw-(No.5448).pdf","title":"Community Standards Bylaw 2019 No. 5448 (PDF), Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/parking-regulations.aspx","title":"Parking Regulations, Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Other-Bylaws/Bylaw-Notice-Enforcement-Bylaw-2008-(No.-4703).pdf","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw 2008 No. 4703 (PDF), Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-06","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/langley-township/rv-boat-trailer-parking/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langley-township/rv-boat-trailer-parking.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langley-township/rv-boat-trailer-parking.json"}}
