No recreational vehicles, trailers or over-sized vehicles may be parked on or around the Unit as a result of the Short-Term Rental Use. Designated Responsible Party must be able to provide vehicle information for any Renter(s) currently in the Unit, including make, model, year, color & license plate.

Full Breakdown
The Woodlands Restrictive Covenants prohibit trailers, RVs, mobile homes, boats, and similar vehicles from being parked for 48 consecutive hours or more on any street or on any lot where visible at ground level from a street or adjacent property. Farm tractors, semi-trucks, and similar vehicles may not be stored on streets or visible lots at all. Parking on lawns, ditches, open space areas, or unpaved areas is expressly prohibited. STR hosts must communicate these restrictions to guests. The Woodlands Township also explicitly notes that parking on neighborhood streets cannot currently be regulated through covenants, so enforcement of street parking falls to county jurisdiction.
Violations & Fines
Covenant violations for prohibited vehicle storage. Township can send compliance notices and pursue civil enforcement for repeat violations.
