Florida Condo RV Parking

RV Parking

It is not uncommon for condominiums to regulate the parking of RVs. Some condos define RVs as a vehicle and also limit the number of vehicles that may be parked per unit. Some condos specify where certain vehicles, including RVs, may be parked.

The only way to understand what's allowed at a specific condo is to read the governing documents. The declaration and the rules and regulations documents may be good places to start looking.

The article "Can my condo association restrict me from owning or parking a RV in my parking spaces?" in lawyer website Avvo.com shows a question and and answer on RV parking at a condo in Seminole, FL. The Florida Department Of Business And Professional Regulation's "Condominium Unit-Owner Rights And Responsibilities" document does not show RV parking rights for condo owners.

If RV parking is allowed in the association declaration, then the declaration may also allow the association Board of Directors to pass rules on RV parking.

If the declaration limits RV parking, it's possible to amend the declaration through a membership vote. The process for amending the declaration can be found in the association's governing documents and may also be regulated by the Florida Statutes.

Some Florida condo buyers wish they had understood the RV parking rules at a Florida condominium property before they made an offer to buy.

Prospective Florida condo buyers should, if they don't understand condo association RV parking rules, engage licensed and reputable attorneys and advisors to guide their buying decision.
