Katy's zoning ordinance restricts where recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers may be parked in residential districts, generally requiring storage in the side or rear yard rather than the front yard or public street.
Katy's zoning standards prohibit parking recreational vehicles, travel trailers, boats, or boat trailers on public thoroughfares within residentially zoned districts. On a residential lot, RVs and boats are generally required to be parked in the rear or side yard, set back at least five feet from the property line unless screened by a substantially opaque fence. Limited front-yard or driveway placement is allowed for short loading, cleaning, or trip-preparation periods, typically up to 72 hours.
Citations issued by code enforcement; failure to relocate the vehicle can result in misdemeanor charges and fines up to $200 per offense.
