Missouri City regulates the placement, screening, and storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on residential lots through its zoning ordinance and code enforcement program.
Recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers stored on residential property must comply with Missouri City zoning standards. RVs and boats parked within the minimum eight-foot setback from any adjacent property line must be screened by a compliant fence or evergreen landscaping at least as tall as the item being screened. Vehicles must be parked on a hard-surfaced area meeting city specifications, not on grass or unimproved ground. The Code Enforcement and Health Division actively investigates RV and boat parking complaints, typically within two business days.
Notice of violation, compliance deadline (10-180 days), and possible municipal court citations for non-compliance with screening or surface requirements.
