Reminder for Residents regarding RV Habitation Regulations
Living in an RV on private property within Hines city limits is generally prohibited unless the RV is located in an authorized park or qualifies for a temporary-use exception under City ordinance. Violations of these regulations may result in fines or other enforcement actions.
Under Hines Municipal Code 8.24.020, RVs may not be used as permanent living quarters on private property unless located in an authorized RV, mobile home, or manufactured dwelling park. Limited exceptions are available for temporary visitors and new home construction, subject to City permits and applicable requirements.
Additional restrictions under Hines Municipal Code 8.20.020 regulate trailer habitation, including parking duration, cooking, and plumbing connections.
Residents should be aware:
• Temporary VISITOR RV occupancy may require a City permit.
• RVs may not be parked in the public street right-of-way for more than 48 hours.
• Unoccupied RVs may be parked or stored on private property, subject to applicable City regulations.
These ordinances help protect public health, safety, sanitation, and responsible land use.
Residents planning to use an RV as temporary living quarters should contact City Hall before occupancy to confirm applicable requirements and permit conditions.
For questions, contact Hines City Hall at 541-573-2251.
The City appreciates the cooperation of residents and property owners in maintaining a safe and well-maintained community.
