Haltom City allows on-street parking unless posted otherwise. Vehicles must park within 18 inches of the curb, cannot block driveways or hydrants, and cannot stay over 48 hours.
Haltom City Code Chapter on Traffic and Vehicles regulates on-street parking on public streets. Standard rules require vehicles to park with the right-hand wheels within 18 inches of the curb, headed in the direction of traffic on two-way streets. Parking is prohibited within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk, within 30 feet of a stop sign or traffic signal, within 20 feet of a fire station driveway, in front of a public or private driveway, on a sidewalk, in a marked fire lane, and on any street marked No Parking. Haltom City police may mark tires with chalk or license plate scanning and cite vehicles parked in the same on-street space longer than 48 continuous hours as abandoned or stored. Overnight parking on residential streets is generally permitted but neighborhood complaints can trigger enforcement. Commercial streets and business districts may have posted time-limited zones (2 hour, 4 hour) enforced during business hours. Some neighborhoods with narrow streets or near schools have No Parking zones posted to maintain emergency vehicle access and visibility. During declared weather emergencies (freezing rain, snow) the city may post emergency no-parking to allow snow and ice treatment of streets. Special event parking restrictions are posted in advance with temporary signs. Residential permit parking districts are not commonly used in Haltom City, but specific streets near schools and churches may have restrictions during peak hours. Vehicles blocking trash collection on pickup days may be cited and must be moved to allow city services. Violations are civil parking citations with fines typically ranging from 25 to 100 dollars plus court costs.
Typical parking violations such as parking too far from the curb, blocking a driveway, or exceeding posted time limits carry civil citations of 25 to 75 dollars. Parking in a fire lane or blocking a hydrant carries fines of 100 dollars or more. Vehicles left over 48 hours may be declared abandoned, ticketed, and towed under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 683 with owner responsible for tow and storage fees.
