can you live in a camper on your property

[DeRiley]

Living in a camper on your own property is generally illegal for permanent residency in most areas of the U.S., as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) classifies RVs as recreational vehicles, not permanent dwellings. However, exceptions exist for temporary stays, and local ordinances and state laws vary significantly, with some states like Florida and Texas having more relaxed rules, while others like California may strictly limit or prohibit it. You must check local zoning, HOA rules, and health/safety codes to determine the legality for your specific location.
