Full Breakdown
The Woodlands Restrictive Covenants prohibit farm-type tractors, semi-truck tractors and trailers, and other similar vehicles from being stored on any street or on any lot where visible at ground level. Unlike the 48-hour exception for RVs and boats, there is no time exception for heavy commercial vehicles: they are categorically prohibited from visible storage. Standard work vehicles (pickup trucks, vans) are not explicitly covered by this restriction but must comply with general parking and driveway rules. The Covenant Administration Department handles complaints.
