## How it works

On your own lot, the [Zoning Bylaw](<https://taylor.civicweb.net/document/121760/>) (sections 7.2.3 and 4.17) allows in residential areas one boat up to 11.0 m, one recreational vehicle up to 14.0 m and one cargo or flat deck trailer up to 8.0 m. Vehicles outside a building must be 1.5 m back from the curb or edge of the roadway and licensed. An RV may have no skirting and no sewer hookups, and a District permit is required.

On a street, the [ticket schedule](<https://districtoftaylor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/468-1993-Municipal-Ticket-Information-Utilization-Bylaw-Consolidated-for-Convenience-Purposes-Only.pdf>) lists offences for parking over 72 hours without moving, an unlicensed vehicle or trailer on a road, a commercial trailer over 2 hours, and an unattached commercial trailer on a street without a permit. The street rules are in the [Traffic and Parking Bylaw](<https://districtoftaylor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/718-2006-Bylaw-to-Regulate-Traffic-and-Parking-in-the-District-of-Taylor.pdf>).

## Steps

1. Call the District Office at 250-789-3392 to ask about the RV permit.
2. Keep the RV, boat or trailer within the sizes above and the 1.5 m setback.
3. Move any street-parked vehicle before 72 hours are up.

## Good to know

- Living in an RV is not permitted on a lot, except as temporary accommodation in a campground. Using a vehicle as living quarters on a street is a ticketable offence.
- Fines: $100 first offence, $200 second and each later offence for most of these parking offences. Parking in a disabled space or breaching parking standards is $50 and $100.
