Fulshear FAQ

How many cars can short-term rental guests park at a Fulshear home?

Fulshear has no STR-specific cap. The underlying residential zoning typically requires two off-street spaces per dwelling under Appendix A, and on-street parking is allowed only where Chapter 22 and Tex. Transp. Code Sec. 545.302 do not prohibit it. HOA CC&Rs frequently set stricter limits.

Can STR guests park on the lawn or cul-de-sac in Fulshear?

Lawn parking is generally prohibited under zoning and property maintenance rules, and blocking driveways, hydrants, mailboxes, or sight triangles violates Chapter 22 and the Texas Transportation Code. HOA covenants in master-planned communities often add overnight street-parking bans.

Do I need extra off-street spaces because I rent the home short-term?

Not under the city code, since Fulshear has no STR ordinance. The standard residential off-street parking minimum in Appendix A still applies. Some HOAs require extra spaces for high-occupancy use - confirm with your CC&Rs.
