Summary

Celina caps residential RVs and trailers at four per lot, bans front-yard parking off the driveway, and limits public-street parking to 72 hours.

No recreational vehicle, travel trailer, motorhome, boat, boat trailer, jet skis, or stock trailer shall be parked or stored on a public thoroughfare in any residential district. The provisions of this section shall not prevent the parking or standing of such vehicles upon the public thoroughfare in such zoned district for a period not to exceed 72 hours. ... A maximum of four recreational vehicles or trailers can be parked or stored on a residentially zoned lot, excluding enclosed garage spaces.

Full Breakdown

Celina's code bars parking an RV, travel trailer, motorhome, boat, boat trailer, jet ski, or stock trailer on a public thoroughfare in a residential district beyond 72 hours. On private residential property, units must sit on the driveway or be screened in the rear yard: front-yard parking off the driveway is prohibited outright. Owners may keep up to four recreational vehicles or trailers per residentially zoned lot, not counting enclosed garage spaces, and any unit connected to utilities beyond maintenance electricity or water cannot be lived in.

Violations & Fines

Code enforcement can order removal; a vehicle parked in the same spot over 5 days is deemed "stored" and treated as an illegally parked, abandoned vehicle subject to removal under § 8.08.004.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my RV in my Celina driveway long-term?
Yes, on the driveway or screened in the rear yard, up to four units per lot, but not in the front yard off the driveway.
How long can a boat trailer sit on a residential street in Celina?
No more than 72 hours; after that it violates § 12.04.005(a)(1), and units parked over 5 days are treated as stored/abandoned.
