Bellaire does not have a space-saving or dibs parking system. Located in Southeast Texas where snow is extremely rare, the city has no ordinance addressing the practice of reserving shoveled-out parking spaces with objects. Public street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The City of Bellaire is located in the Houston metropolitan area in Southeast Texas, where significant snowfall is exceptionally rare. As a result, the city has never adopted a dibs or space-saving ordinance that would allow residents to reserve street parking spots after clearing snow. Public street parking operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Placing chairs, cones, trash cans, or other objects in the street to reserve parking spaces is not authorized and may violate ordinances regarding obstructions in the public right-of-way. Items placed in the street could be removed by the city's Public Works Department. In the unlikely event of winter weather requiring road treatment, the city coordinates with Harris County and TxDOT for road safety measures. Contact Public Works at (713) 662-8222 for questions about street obstructions.
Placing unauthorized objects in the public right-of-way to reserve parking may result in removal of the objects and potential citation for obstruction.
