Harris County does not regulate commercial vehicle parking on residential property in unincorporated areas. Texas counties lack the zoning authority to restrict where work trucks, vans, or heavy equipment are stored on private property. Texas Transportation Code Ch. 545 applies to commercial vehicles parked on public roadways, including weight restrictions and safety requirements. Many master-planned communities have deed restrictions prohibiting commercial vehicles, semi-trucks, or equipment visible from the street. The Texas Neighborhood Nuisance Abatement Act may apply if large numbers of abandoned or inoperable commercial vehicles constitute a nuisance condition.
No county commercial vehicle parking violations for private property. TX Transportation Code violations on public roads: fines vary. Nuisance conditions: 30-day notice, then civil/criminal action.
