Mansfield restricts RV, boat, and trailer storage in residential front yards and requires parking on approved surfaces behind the front building line for most properties.
Mansfield zoning ordinance regulates recreational vehicle and boat storage in residential districts. Recreational vehicles, travel trailers, boats, and utility trailers generally must be stored behind the front building line of the principal dwelling and on an improved surface of concrete, asphalt, or pavers. Temporary loading and unloading for up to 48 hours is typically allowed in the driveway. RVs may not be used as permanent dwellings on residential lots. Large RVs exceeding 30 feet may require side-yard or rear-yard screening depending on the specific zoning district. On-street RV and boat parking is limited to 24 consecutive hours. HOAs in Mansfield subdivisions often impose stricter rules than the city ordinance, and those covenants are enforced privately. Violations are handled by Code Compliance with courtesy notices followed by citations. Homeowners should check both the city zoning ordinance and any HOA covenants before purchasing an RV or boat.
