If your home in Cincinnati, Colerain Township, Green Township, Milford, Batavia, Union and Miami townships, and the rest of Hamilton and Clermont counties is not livable after the August storms, you may be able to stay on your own property while it is repaired. We deliver a furnished travel trailer to your driveway or yard, set it up, have it connected, and service it for the whole stay. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly.

Whether a trailer can stay on your lot is decided by your city or town, or by the county or township outside city limits, and by your HOA if you have one. Here is what each one’s own code or official page says, in short. Our parent brand covers the residential RV rules for Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and Clermont County in detail.
Ohio law lets a township, or a county with rural zoning, bar travel trailers from its residential districts, so outside a city or village the township or county zoning office has the say. Where a township has no zoning, building and health rules still apply.
That depends on your policy and your adjuster. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly, so you are not fronting the cost. Our parent brand explains the claim side on 1st Choice Living’s Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and Clermont County page. Once the placement is arranged, the trailer, delivery, and service are ours.
Every size arrives furnished, with real beds, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and heat and air conditioning. If the work on the house runs into the cold months, read winter care and freeze protection before the first hard freeze. More on a trailer on your property while you rebuild.
We work with any temporary housing company. If one is handling your housing, ask them to place you with Temporary RV Living, or with our parent brand, 1st Choice Living, for a trailer on your own lot in Hamilton and Clermont counties. They send us the placement, and we deliver, set up, and service the trailer.
For restoration, roofing, tree, utility, and response crews working in Cincinnati, Colerain Township, Green Township, Milford, Batavia, Union and Miami townships, and the rest of Hamilton and Clermont counties. Bring the housing to the work. We deliver travel trailers to the site, or as close as the ground allows, and set up and connect them the same way we do in a driveway. A two-person crew fits one trailer. A full crew takes a cluster, and the Workforce Bunkhouse sleeps six or more per trailer, with a kitchen and a bathroom the crew shares. One point of contact runs the placement, it lands on one invoice billed directly to the company, and we handle the LOA, COI, and compliance paperwork your office or your client requires.
No code we found in Hamilton or Clermont County lets a crew live in travel trailers on a job site. Ask the zoning office for the site before delivery, with the address and how long the crew expects to stay; the trailers can also go on land zoned for them nearby. More on crew housing.
Water, sewer or septic, and electrical connections are completed by licensed, insured contractors from our preferred vendor network, so you do not hire an electrician or a plumber. We look at how far the trailer will sit from the water, sewer, and power it will use, and confirm the site with you on the call before the trailer rolls.
Electric service in Hamilton and Clermont counties comes from the utilities below. Each posts its own outage updates.
Septic: Ohio's state septic rules say a sewage treatment system may not be installed, altered, or operated without a permit from the local board of health. We found no county rule written for hooking a trailer to a home's septic system, so call the county health department before connecting. Source: Ohio Adm. Code 3701-29-06, General provisions and prohibitions
Call the office for the city or town where the trailer will sit, or the county or township office outside city limits. Ask whether a travel trailer may be used there, for how long, and which permits the hookups need.

Our sister brand LossMap covers documenting a property from the air for a claim, on LossMap’s Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and Clermont County page.
We found no Cincinnati rule that allows it. The city zoning code says recreational vehicles may not be used as accessory dwelling units, and we found no section that lets a family live in an RV on its own lot during repairs. Ask Cincinnati Buildings and Inspections before anyone moves in.
The Hamilton County zoning resolution, which covers Columbia and Harrison townships and most of Green and Miami townships, says an RV parked in a residential district may not be used for living or housekeeping. Colerain Township and northeast Green Township zone themselves, and both bar living in a trailer on a residential lot. None has a storm or rebuilding exception.
Clermont County has no county zoning, so each township and city sets its own rules. Milford says camping equipment parked in a residential district may never be used for living, Batavia says it is unlawful to live in a camper or RV anywhere in the village, and Miami Township bars living in a trailer. Union Township's code only limits where an RV can be stored, so ask the township before anyone moves in.
Not under any code we found. Hamilton County and northeast Green Township allow contractor offices during construction but say they may not contain sleeping accommodations, and Colerain, Union Township, Milford, and Batavia allow construction buildings or trailers without saying anyone may live in them. Ask the zoning office for the site before delivery.
We deliver, set up, and service trailers nationwide, and have since 2004. Put the address in the request form and we confirm the site with you on the call.
