RV Parking Rules in Idaho — Boise, Coeur d'Alene & City Rules
Updated 2025
Idaho Framework
Idaho does not have a comprehensive state HOA act. HOAs operate primarily under nonprofit corporation law and recorded CC&Rs with significant variation in procedural protections. Idaho has no Arizona-style protection against HOA RV parking bans.
Boise and Treasure Valley
Boise enforces a 72-hour street limit and permits driveway RV storage under standard conditions. Boise's rapid growth has introduced more HOA communities in the Treasure Valley — Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, and Star are all growing rapidly with increasing planned community development featuring RV parking restrictions in many CC&Rs.
Coeur d'Alene and Rural Idaho
Coeur d'Alene enforces a 72-hour limit and is generally permissive about residential RV storage. Rural Idaho outside city limits is among the most permissive environments in the western US for residential RV storage — most Idaho counties have minimal land use regulations outside cities.
