# Midway RV, boat and trailer parking rules

**Question:** Can I park an RV, boat, or trailer on the street or in my yard in Midway?

**Short answer:** Midway's readable bylaws do not set a rule for parking an RV, boat or trailer on the street or in a yard. Derelict or inoperable RVs, trailers and boats count as rubbish an owner must not let accumulate. Other rules would be in the Zoning Bylaw, which cannot be read online.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (Village of Midway, https://www.midwaybc.ca)  
**Cost:** Under the Property Maintenance Bylaw: at least $150 and up to $10,000, plus costs, for letting rubbish such as derelict vehicles accumulate. No parking ticket schedule is posted.  
**How long:** Not applicable.  
**Where:**
- Phone: Village Office, 250-449-2222
- Phone: Bylaw Enforcement Officer, 250-449-8353
- Email: Bylaw Enforcement Officer, midwaybylaw@shaw.ca

## Key facts

## How it works

The Village of Midway's readable bylaws do not set a rule for parking an RV, boat or trailer on the street. No street parking bylaw is posted on the Village's Bylaws page, so ask the Village Office (250-449-2222).

On your own property, the [Property Maintenance and Standards Bylaw No. 525, 2020](https://midwaybc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/BYLAW-525-2020-Property-Maintenance-and-Standards-.pdf) treats derelict or inoperable RVs, campers, utility trailers, boat trailers and derelict boats as "rubbish" that an owner must not let accumulate. Rules on where, how many and what size would be in the Zoning Bylaw (No. 464, 2015). The copy on the Village site is a scanned PDF that cannot be read, so we could not check it.

## Good to know

- The bylaws read do not say whether you may sleep or live in an RV.
- The fine under the Property Maintenance Bylaw is at least $150 and up to $10,000, plus costs. No parking ticket schedule is posted.
- To report a derelict vehicle or trailer, see the unsightly property answer, or phone the Bylaw Enforcement Officer at 250-449-8353 or email midwaybylaw@shaw.ca.
