Full Breakdown
Fulshear has not adopted an STR ordinance, so there is no dedicated guest-parking ratio, on-site space requirement, or off-site parking ban tied specifically to short-term rentals. STR operators must instead comply with the off-street parking minimums in the city's zoning appendix (Appendix A, Zoning) for the underlying single-family or two-family residential use, which generally requires two off-street spaces per dwelling unit. Driveways, garages, and approved paved areas count toward the minimum; lawn parking is typically prohibited under the property maintenance and zoning provisions. On-street parking is governed by Chapter 22 of the Code of Ordinances and Texas Transportation Code Sec.
302, including prohibitions on blocking driveways, fire hydrants, mailboxes, and obstructing intersection sight triangles. Recreational vehicle, trailer, and commercial vehicle parking on residential lots is restricted under the property maintenance and zoning provisions; operators of large-group STRs should not direct guests to overflow on lawns or cul-de-sac centers. Fulshear Development Services administers parking and zoning compliance at 281-346-8860, and Fulshear PD enforces on-street violations at 281-346-2202. HOA CC&Rs in Cross Creek Ranch, Fulshear Run, Tamarron, Weston Lakes, and Fulbrook commonly impose stricter rules - banning street parking overnight, capping number of vehicles per home, prohibiting RVs and trailers on driveways, and requiring vehicles in garages - and are enforceable under Tex. Prop. Code Ch. 209 independent of city silence on STR parking.
Violations & Fines
Parking violations of Chapter 22 or Texas Transportation Code provisions (blocking hydrants, driveways, fire lanes, or sight triangles) are Class C misdemeanors typically punishable by citation and fine, with vehicles subject to towing under Tex. Transp. Code Ch. 545 and Ch. 545.302. Off-street parking deficiencies under Appendix A may trigger zoning enforcement and require additional paved spaces. HOA covenant violations are independently enforceable in district court and may produce injunctions, fines, and attorney-fee awards under Tex. Prop. Code Ch. 209.
