RVs, campers, commercial vehicles and trailers may not park on a highway, boulevard or Township land overnight unless the Bylaw Officer or a Township designate allows it. An RV or trailer on a highway or boulevard needs a valid licence plate and insurance.\n- R.1 (single family) lots: you may park or store only one camper or travel trailer up to 10 m long, one utility trailer up to 4 m, one boat up to 10 m, and one truck or commercial vehicle up to 6,350 kg gross vehicle weight. Construction or maintenance vehicles during working hours are also excepted.\n- Small Holding lots: the same, but one truck or commercial vehicle of any size.\n- Parking clauses for Country Residential, A.2 and Large Holding were not found. The zoning sections read do not say whether you may live in an RV on a private lot. Ask the Township office at 250-546-3013.\n- Tickets: highway parking restriction $50 ($25 if paid within 14 days); vehicle storage or parking in the Small Holding zone $250 ($200); commercial vehicle or equipment storage in R.1 $125 ($100).","sources":[{"url":"https://www.spallumcheentwp.bc.ca/services/contact-us.htm","title":"Contact Us - Spallumcheen Township","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://spallumcheen.civicweb.net/document/43322/","title":"Highway and Traffic Regulation Bylaw No. 2085, 2022 (PDF), Township of Spallumcheen","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://spallumcheen.civicweb.net/document/34972/","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 1700, 2008 (PDF), Township of Spallumcheen","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://spallumcheen.civicweb.net/document/85861/","title":"Municipal Ticket Information Bylaw No. 2023, 2021 (PDF), Township of Spallumcheen","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/spallumcheen/rv-boat-trailer-parking/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/spallumcheen/rv-boat-trailer-parking.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/spallumcheen/rv-boat-trailer-parking.json"}}
