Hi, I am having trouble with ordinance issues in Springfield mass they are now telling me I can't even park it in my backyard and I pay close to $4000 in taxes here in the city and I have a nice clean well-kept yard here what should I do now? Does anyone have any ideas where I can store this RV it's a 30 foot Winnebago.
They had agreed previously to let me park it there if I made my driveway wider which cost me a lot of money I did so now the neighbors complaining again so now they're asking me to remove it please help me if you can give me some idea what to do on this thank you ever so much!

Is it the government giving you a hard time or some fracking homeowners association?

If it's the government:
Time to start writing your city council, county commissioner and state rep. Hire an attorney, he/she may be cheaper than buying a new house or paying for long term storage.

I seem to recall reading in the Michigan Bill of Rights that no locality shall make a law that obstructs or interferes with my right as a citizen of the state... I'm sure Mass. has something similar. So you need a clever attorney to find wording in a state statue that allows you to park your camper on property you own, and threaten to sue the locality for trampling on your rights.

If it's a HOA:
You're screwed - should have read the fine print and master deed before you bought the property. You own your house and the ground around it, but some baron owns the neighborhood and holds the master deed and you live by their law.
