Two US towns seek ways to regulate RV living amid complaints
Original source: Indiana Public Media

In Brief

In Port Washington (Wisconsin) and Brown County (Indiana), authorities are considering changes to rules for campers and RVs due to resident complaints. In Port Washington, a draft ordinance is not yet ready; in Brown County, the commission continues studying the issue.

Port Washington (Wisconsin)

Work on a new ordinance for recreational vehicles in Port Washington is still in progress. The city planner has not yet prepared a draft that could be considered by the commission next month. Current rules allow RV parking for 30 days in most of the city, but parking five or more units requires a state permit.

Brown County (Indiana)

The Brown County Plan Commission is struggling with complaints about people living in RVs and campers. Under local and state laws, such vehicles are not recognized as dwellings, and the county's unofficial policy permits their use only for short periods—one to two weeks. Main complaints involve illegal waste disposal, and forced eviction is a lengthy and expensive civil process. The commission did not adopt new regulations and will continue studying the issue after gathering public input.
