Frisco, TX Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

City Code § 90-148 defines a recreational vehicle as any towable or self-propelled portable structure built for temporary living, camping, or travel, including travel trailers, camping trailers, converted buses, and motorhomes. Section 90-149(a) bars parking or standing one on a public street, highway, alley, or right-of-way in any residential zoning district at any time, though the rule does not stop a vehicle from briefly loading or unloading passengers, freight, or a delivery (§ 90-149(b)), and a separate section bars parking one in a school zone during school hours except to drop off or pick up passengers (§ 90-151).

Separately, § 90-150 bars parking any vehicle so that less than 12 feet of roadway is left open for traffic, or within three feet of where a driveway's curb return meets the curb.

An owner who needs to park longer applies to the chief of police for an on-street parking permit, valid up to 48 hours before a trip or 24 hours after one, capped at four permits per address per calendar year unless the chief approves more (§§ 90-148, 90-152). Out-of-town guests get a separate visitor permit, limited to five days and one per address per year, and only for visitors from outside Collin or Denton County (§§ 90-148, 90-152(d)). A denied, revoked, or shortened permit can be appealed in writing to the city manager within ten days; the city manager must try to hear it within 30 days and can reverse the police chief, subject to city council review at its next meeting (§ 90-153).
