Parking of Trailers and Recreational Vehicles:

We’ve had several questions lately asking if trailers or campers are allowed to be parked in driveways, the short answer is most of the time they are not.

Trailers and Recreation Vehicles (Campers, RV’s, boats, etc…) can only be parked or stored in back of your house. They are only allowed to be parked in the front of your house for a maximum of 48 hours for loading, unloading and cleaning purposes and cannot be parked in the street.

If you don’t have access to your rear yard you may request an exemption from the city council.

The City of Albia will start the sale of derelict city owned properties.
Offer applications can be found at albiaiowa.org or Albia City Hall.
Bids will not be accepted without offer application and a plan for the property.
