When you closed on the your house copies of any HOA, etc would have been provided to you. It also appears on the sellers disclosure. Whether it was enforced daily has nothing to do with the fact that the association has one in place when you purchased the home and they have every right to have a code enforcer go thru and issue tickets and enforce the codes.

Real sorry you had to go thru it but it is what it is.

As far as storing it, storage facilities that 'specialize' in RV's is your best bet as they usually have the gates and alarms that most regular self storage facilities don't have because people have access to their storage units around the clock.

IMHO I find the specialized climate controlled "INSIDE RV/Boat" storage places to have far less if at all cases of theft compared to outside storage at a regular self storage place.

The OP's situation is a city ordinance not a home owners so he would have received no info as to these rules without checking into it himself. Having been able to have this for 7 years without a hassle would be my excuse to head to a council meeting to air my complaint as to why now. Couldn't do any harm.........

Thanks for pointing that out to me. Sorry for misquoting the subject.

That said and certainly no disrespect to the OP. I own a MH. I have bought and sold many houses and again BEFORE I purchase I go to the county and request a copy of the ordinances and/or look them up while I am there for the area in which the house is located BEFORE I even consider buying a house.

When you own an RV THIS is the MOST important part of purchasing real estate. I never ask the Real Estate agent they are not required to confirm this to a buyer.

I go directly to the county and look it up.
AND, BTW all HOA's, CCD's, and the like are ALSO on record with the county.

It's the nature of the beast. If you own an RV and want to keep it at you home doing this research FIRST becomes the most important part of buying a home.

Perfect example of the importance of research. I just found some great investment property in Florida. What drew me to this area WAS all the MH's parked, many snowbirds, and full timer property owners.
But I still would not buy until I researched the property at the county.

Before I put my offer in I went to the county to confirm there was no 'other' covenants and pulled it up it showed HOA no RV's!? BUT further reading showed the entire HOA covenant had expired, henceforth all the owners with MH's. So for me it was a winner.

So to all first time RV owners take note and do you homework before you buy. Hope this info helps you.:C
