Rowlett, TX Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Rowlett's main control on oversized residential vehicles is Section 22-263 of the Development Code, summarized in the city's 'Common Code Violations' guide. No more than one recreational vehicle may be parked or stored on a residential parcel at a time unless the lot is one acre or larger, and the RV must be parked or stored behind the front of the dwelling. Oversized recreational and motorized vehicles must sit on a concrete surface, while large hauling and travel trailers may use an approved dustless surface (concrete or asphalt, pavers, or cased-in six-inch gravel) with a matching access apron. Every such vehicle must be at least three feet from the rear property line, the pad must be at least as large as the vehicle plus any permanently attached towing mechanism, and on corner lots the vehicle may not be stored on any side adjacent to a street. For oversized commercial vehicles, such as semitrailers and truck tractors, Texas Transportation Code Section 545.307 prohibits overnight parking (10 p.m.-6 a.m.) on signed residential streets. Rowlett's junk/inoperable vehicle rules (Sec. 22-81 to 22-87) also reach disabled oversized vehicles. Because Rowlett's full Chapter 66 traffic text is published only through Municode, any posted size or weight restrictions on specific streets should be obeyed as enforceable.
