Midland County does NOT impose STR parking requirements in unincorporated areas. Texas counties lack zoning authority (Tex. LGC Ch. 233) and the county has no STR ordinance. Limits come only from Subdivision Regulations, Tex. Transp. Code §545.301, and city STR rules inside Midland.
Midland County has not adopted any STR parking ordinance for unincorporated areas. Because Texas counties lack general zoning authority (Tex. LGC Ch. 233) and §232 limits county authority to subdivision platting, the county does not require off-street spaces for STRs, regulate on-street guest parking, or enforce driveway rules on single-family lots. Vehicles must stay clear of county road right-of-way and emergency access — obstruction is enforceable under Tex. Transp. Code §545.301. Permian Basin oil-worker rentals often produce multi-vehicle households (work trucks, crew vehicles); HOA covenants and deed restrictions may impose stricter private limits. Inside Midland city, Ordinance 10190 and the city zoning parking schedule apply (commonly two off-street spaces per dwelling). Confirm with City of Midland Planning at (432) 685-7325.
No county STR parking penalty in unincorporated areas. Blocking a county road: Tex. Transp. Code §545.301 — Class C misdemeanor, fines up to $200 plus tow. City Ord. 10190 violations: civil penalties up to $500/day.
