Rules for your lot are in the [Zoning Bylaw No. 2025-026](<https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/94551/>) (sections 5.6 and 5.19). Trailers include boat trailers.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- On a street: an RV may not be parked on any highway for more than 4 hours at a time. A motor vehicle may not stay over 72 hours without moving (unless the owner is a resident), and none over 24 hours on a highway. A trailer must be attached to a motor vehicle. Unlicensed vehicles and trailers may not be parked on a street. A commercial trailer may not park attached on a street for more than 2 hours. No camping overnight on a street.\n- On your lot: one RV belonging to the owner or occupier may be stored or parked per parcel. With more than one permitted dwelling and room for on-site storage, one per dwelling. More than one unlicensed trailer is not allowed outside. A guest's RV is allowed as one extra, up to 30 days a year. No RV hook-up to municipal sewer or water.\n- Living in an RV: not on a street or public place. On a lot, only a guest may stay in an RV, up to 30 days a year, or the occupant during construction of a new single detached dwelling under a building permit. Use of an RV as a permanent residence is prohibited. After construction the RV must be removed or stored within 30 days.\n- The Zoning Bylaw also bars more than one unlicensed vehicle in the R-1, R2, RM and MHP zones.\n- The Zoning Bylaw says nothing specific about boats on a lot. A boat on a trailer falls under the trailer rules.\n- Bylaw notices: $100 each ($50 if paid within 14 days; $200 if paid late) for an RV over 4 hours on a highway, living in a vehicle on a street, or parking over 72 hours. Overnight camping is $100 ($50 early; $500 late). Zoning offences are $300 ($175 early; $500 late).\n- The street time limits in sections 12(1) and 12(2) are unclear when read together. Ask the District to confirm.","sources":[{"url":"https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/96233/","title":"Traffic and Parking Regulation Bylaw 2006, No. 275 (consolidated to January 24, 2025) (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/94551/","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 2025-026 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/96235/","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2021-002, consolidated to March 24, 2026 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.lillooet.ca/contact-us","title":"Contact Us, District of Lillooet","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/lillooet/rv-boat-trailer-parking/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lillooet/rv-boat-trailer-parking.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lillooet/rv-boat-trailer-parking.json"}}
