A:
Local governments often have zoning laws and ordinances that regulate how land can be used, even if it's your own property. These rules might restrict placing a camper or living in it permanently on your land. The specifics can vary widely depending on your town or city’s regulations.
Before setting up a camper as a residence, it's important to check with your local planning or zoning department. They can inform you about any permits or restrictions that apply to your situation. Ignoring these rules could lead to fines or having to remove the camper.
If you're unsure about the regulations, seeking advice from a local attorney or land use expert can be helpful. They can provide guidance tailored to your circumstances and help you navigate any necessary approvals.
