Missouri City vs Richmond

Can I park my RV in my driveway in Missouri City?

Yes, on a hard-surfaced driveway, but if it sits within eight feet of a property line you must add a screening fence or tall evergreen landscaping that is at least as tall as the RV.

Do I need a permit to park my RV at home?

Missouri City offers an RV Parking Application through the Forms for Residents page. Contact the Code Enforcement and Health Division to determine whether your situation requires a permit.

What happens if I park my boat on the lawn?

Parking on grass or unimproved ground violates the hard-surface requirement. Code Enforcement will issue a notice of violation with a compliance deadline before any citation is filed.

Can I park my RV in front of my house in Richmond?

No. The UDC limits RV storage to non-required side or rear yard areas on residential lots. Front-yard storage is not an approved location.

No. The Unified Development Code prohibits using a stored recreational vehicle for living or residential purposes, even temporarily, on a residential lot.

Are boats and travel trailers treated the same as RVs?

Generally yes. They are residential accessory uses under the UDC and subject to the same yard-location limits, plus general nuisance rules in the city code.
