Harris County has no STR-specific parking regulations for unincorporated areas. General Texas Transportation Code provisions apply to street parking. Deed restrictions and HOA rules are the primary controls on guest parking.
There are no county-level parking regulations targeting short-term rental properties in unincorporated Harris County. Texas Transportation Code Ch. 545 governs general parking on public roadways, including prohibitions against blocking driveways, fire hydrants, and intersections. Many master-planned communities have deed restrictions governing street parking, RV parking, and the number of vehicles per household. Hosts should ensure guest vehicles do not violate deed restrictions or obstruct roadways. Harris County Precinct Constables enforce state traffic laws on county roads.
TX Transportation Code parking violations: fines vary. Deed restriction violations: civil enforcement, up to $200/day.
