North Richland Hills, TX Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Under the NRH Zoning Ordinance and Code of Ordinances Chapter 54, recreational vehicles (RVs), travel trailers, boats, boat trailers, utility trailers, and similar equipment must be stored on residential property behind the front building line of the principal dwelling. Short-term parking in the driveway for active loading, unloading, cleaning, or maintenance is allowed for up to 48 hours. Storage longer than 48 hours must be on a paved or gravel surface in the side or rear yard, and equipment taller than 6 feet must be screened from the public street by a privacy fence or landscaping. RVs cannot be used as permanent or temporary dwellings or for occupancy within city limits, with narrow exceptions for short-term visitors up to 14 days per year. Connection to electrical, water, or sewer utilities for occupancy is prohibited. Commercial-size vehicles (buses, semi-tractors, large cargo trucks) have stricter rules and generally cannot be stored on residential property at all. HOAs in neighborhoods like Woodland Oaks and Hometown may impose stricter rules on RV and boat storage through their CCRs.
