## How it works

On streets, the [Traffic Regulation Bylaw 1856](<https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/bylaw-1856-traffic-regulation-consolidatedpdf>) bans parking for more than 72 consecutive hours and parking on a sidewalk or boulevard. It also bans overnight parking of RVs, campers, commercial vehicles or trailers on Beach Avenue. On your own lot, the [Zoning Bylaw 2400](<https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/zoning-bylaw-no-2400>) (section 5.7) sets the limits.

## Steps

1. For street parking, move the vehicle before 72 hours are up, and never leave an RV or trailer overnight on Beach Avenue.
2. On your lot in a residential zone, keep to no more than 2 recreational vehicles, 1 unlicensed trailer, 1 unlicensed vehicle, and 5 vehicles stored outside in total.
3. Ask Bylaw Enforcement (250-767-3710) if your zone or lot is unusual.

## Good to know

- Boats, ATVs, snowmobiles and personal watercraft count as recreational vehicles in the zoning bylaw. RVs over 12.2 m (40 ft) are not allowed.
- Boats and trailers may not be left overnight in parks, on beaches or on boulevards ([Park Regulation Bylaw 2089](<https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/consolidated-bylaw-2089-2014-park-regulation-bylawpdf-0>)). Camping or setting up a camper in a park is banned.
- Living in a tent, trailer, motor home or RV on a lot is not allowed unless the zoning bylaw permits it.
- Bylaw notices ([Bylaw 2275](<https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/bylaw-no-2275-bylaw-notice-enforcement-bylaw>)), $90 if paid within 14 days and $110 after 28: $100 for parking over 72 hours, overnight RV or trailer parking on Beach Avenue, or too many vehicles or RVs on a lot. Living in an RV or trailer on a lot is $250. Camping in a park is $50, and an overnight boat trailer in a park is $50.
- The ticket schedule also mentions District parking lots for the overnight rule; the bylaw text says Beach Avenue only.
