DeSoto prohibits parking or storing recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and campers in front yards or on public streets for extended periods. RVs and boats must be stored in side or rear yards, preferably on an improved surface such as concrete, asphalt, or gravel behind the front building line. Short-term loading/unloading is generally permitted for up to 48 hours. Vehicles must be operable, currently registered, and belong to the property owner or resident. Dallas County residents outside city limits should follow county standards, which are less restrictive but still prohibit inoperable storage.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Desoto code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
