Can you keep a camper in your backyard
just wondering if the town has any regulations or do you need a permit to keep a camper or rv on your property
tonyI recommend reading through the Hackettstown CHARTER AND GENERAL CODE ORDINANCE found on the town website. Or you can simply call the Town Clerk, William Kuster and ask.

Greg We have a couple of neighbors that keep their big trailers in their backyard all year. .
Another neighbor brings out his big trailer in the spring and parks it out in front of his house all summer. Now I think that is not allowed.
Another neighbor has put up a fence and it goes all the way out to the street. Our town police drive by and do nothing! They know the rules. .

Jim L Yo Bernie It's on the town website. Under Town Code. Greg already stated that in his post.

Isn't it funny.....you buy a house....yet you need to ask permission to do something as simple as build a deck.....put a camper in your backyard......have to ask permission in some towns to even cut a tree down on your own property!!!
