Full Breakdown

CDO § 28-3-14(a)(2) attaches additional conditions to the parking and storage of recreational vehicles, campers, trailers, and boats in Fulshear. The quoted condition is the length rule, and it depends entirely on where on the lot the unit sits.

In a required front yard or a street side yard, the length of the vehicle shall not exceed 20 feet. Both parking and storage are covered, so a short stay in the driveway is measured against the same 20 feet as season-long storage. The street side yard is listed alongside the front yard, which matters on lots where a side of the property faces a street.

A unit longer than 20 feet is not banned from the property. The CDO directs it to rear yards or interior side yards, and specifically to a position behind the required front yard setback. An interior side yard qualifies. A street side yard does not.

The same section carries further conditions. The vehicle can't be used to store goods unrelated to its use. It can't hook into permanent utility lines. It must stay clean and well-kept. Overnight use is limited to non-paying guests, for at most three consecutive days or 14 days per calendar year. Because the guests must be non-paying, renting the unit out as lodging falls outside that allowance.

In practice an owner answers two questions before choosing a spot. How long is the unit, and is the chosen spot in the required front yard or street side yard? If the unit is 20 feet or less, either of those yards is available under the length rule. If it is longer, only the rear yard or an interior side yard behind the setback will do.

Violations & Fines

Enforced as a zoning/code compliance violation by the City of Fulshear under the CDO; noncompliant vehicles are subject to code enforcement citation and required relocation or removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my RV in my Fulshear driveway?
Yes, but if it's in the required front yard or street side yard it can't exceed 20 feet in length. Longer RVs must be parked or stored in a rear yard or interior side yard behind the required front yard setback.
Where can I keep a boat longer than 20 feet?
In a rear yard or an interior side yard, behind the required front yard setback. A street side yard is treated like the front yard, so the 20 feet limit applies there too.
Can guests live in an RV parked at a Fulshear home?
Only non-paying guests, and only for up to three consecutive days or 14 days total in a calendar year.
Can I connect a stored RV to my home's utilities?
Not permanently. The CDO conditions bar hooking the vehicle into permanent utility lines.
