Rowlett, TX Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Rowlett does not appear to publish a freely accessible standalone ordinance setting a residential weight limit for commercial vehicles, so the governing rules come from a combination of state law and the city's lot-surface requirements. Under Texas Transportation Code Section 545.307, a person may not park a commercial motor vehicle, including a road tractor, truck tractor, pole trailer or semitrailer, on a city- or county-maintained street within or adjacent to a residential subdivision after 10 p.m. and before 6 a.m. where signs (established by neighborhood petition) are posted. The exceptions cover vehicles actively transporting persons or property to or from the subdivision, performing temporary work there, utility vehicles with an on-call employee, or vehicles parked next to their own commercial establishment. For vehicles parked or stored on private residential property, Rowlett's Development Code Section 22-263 requires all vehicles to sit on an approved, dustless surface (concrete for motorized vehicles), set back at least three feet from the rear line, and prohibits storage on the street-facing side of corner lots; Code Enforcement cites unapproved-surface parking under Section 22-263(3)A,D. The city also enforces its junk/inoperable vehicle rules (Sec. 22-81 through 22-87) against disabled commercial vehicles. Posted signs and Chapter 66 of the city code govern any additional on-street commercial parking limits.
