I know zoning laws vary by county and state but I think most are basically the same. I've tried asking local zoning inspectors these questions but they all say different things. So I'd like to get an idea of how things work in other places.
The local zoning laws say that outside storage is prohibited but they don't really explain any further. Are there items that are normally allowed to stay outside, and if so, what are these items (hose, lawn furniture, lawn mower)? I would assume that things such as tires, tools, and auto parts are not allowed, is that usually true?
