RV parking rules in Lamesa

Lamesa RV parking at a glance

Ordinary residential storage remains unoccupied

Section 3.09.015 requires residential storage on an improved surface or in a side or rear yard, with slides, extensions and pop-ups stowed. Water and sewer hookups are not allowed for ordinary storage. Electricity may maintain RV systems. Personal or rental occupancy is excluded except under a separate temporary-occupancy route. Official source.

Owner servicing has a 72-hour allowance within thirty days

Loading, unloading, cleaning or repairing by the RV owner has an exception only for the time necessary, never more than 72 hours in a thirty-day period. It is not an automatic three-day allowance each time the vehicle is moved. This packet evaluates the exception on residential private property, not a general street-parking entitlement. Official source.

The ordinary temporary-occupancy route is ten days per twelve months

Section 3.09.014(b)(5) provides at most ten days of temporary occupancy in a twelve-month period, in a side or rear yard of a property owner’s residence or on an improved surface on the property. All earlier occupancy in that period must be included. The selected conditions do not grant utility, zoning or health approval. Official source.

Occupancy uses a specific RV definition

For Section 3.09.014, the unit must have a single chassis, be no more than 400 square feet at its largest horizontal projections, be self-propelled or permanently towable, be designed for temporary rather than permanent dwelling use, and have functioning indoor plumbing, bathing and sanitary facilities. An ordinary car or truck is not made an eligible residence by calling it an RV. Official source.

Other occupancy routes require actual approval

Separate routes exist for permitted RV parks, city-approved construction-site living, city-sponsored events, an inspector-issued permit up to thirty days renewable twice, and qualifying medical-care arrangements with a permit and additional documentation, utilities and setbacks. These are not interchangeable with the ten-day route and are not approved by this checker. Official source.

Ordinary street storage is prohibited

Section 3.09.015 prohibits parking or storing RVs on city streets or alleys. The section also has limited owner-servicing and authorized-occupancy exceptions. Their application to a particular public location needs city confirmation; this private-property checker does not decide it. Official source.

Who to contact for your setup

Confirm boundaries, actual authorization, site conditions and other applicable law with the local government. This administrative screen does not issue permission.
