Haltom City, TX Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Haltom City does not have a citywide overnight on-street parking ban for residential areas. Residents and guests may park on the street overnight unless signs prohibit it on a specific block. Some streets near schools, parks, churches, and narrow corridors are posted with No Parking zones enforced 24 hours. Commercial districts may have posted time-limited parking (2 hour, 4 hour) that ends in the evening, allowing overnight parking after close. Shopping center and apartment complex parking lots are private property with rules set by the property owner; posted tow-away notices must comply with Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2308 (towing from parking facilities) to be enforceable. A vehicle left in the same on-street location continuously for more than 48 hours may be chalked or tagged by Haltom City Police and is subject to towing under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 683 as abandoned or stored. Moving the vehicle a short distance periodically to avoid the 48-hour rule is ineffective if officers can document continuous storage; the rule addresses actual storage on the street rather than brief repositioning. During winter weather events, the city may declare emergency no-parking to allow snow and ice treatment of streets; these temporary restrictions are posted with orange signs. Special event parking restrictions are posted 72 hours in advance. Residents with multiple vehicles who exceed driveway capacity often use on-street parking; the city generally does not limit this except when complaints about specific vehicles or safety issues arise. On-street parking in front of a neighbor's home is legal; there is no rule requiring you to park only in front of your own property on public streets.
