Lavon RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Street | Three consecutive hours ordinarily; issued residential-street permit may allow up to 16 hours per 24. |

Street duration and permit route
Section 11.03.003(l) limits trailers, truck campers, motorhomes and watercraft trailers to three consecutive street-parking hours. Section 11.03.005 allows a discretionary police permit for an RV or watercraft trailer on a residential street. Apply at least two days ahead. Approved dates and times cannot exceed 16 total hours in any 24-hour period; the location must adjoin property owned or controlled by the applicant. The displayed permit must be readable to passing officers.
Return periods and other permit limits
An extended-hours permit may include a second return date/time, separated from the original period by at least five hours. An application is not approval, and any violation of another law invalidates the permit. RVs, campers and trailers are ineligible for the Presidents Boulevard special weekend permit and the special-event unimproved-surface parking permit. Neither supplies an alternative RV exception.
Private placement and occupancy
Vehicles listed in Section 11.03.003(k) between the front building line and street pavement need an improved surface, defined to include attached rock, concrete, asphalt or pavestone rather than dirt or grass. Driveway vehicles cannot extend into the sidewalk or street. Living or sleeping use is prohibited, with a private-location exception for nonpaying household guests for at most 14 days in any 30-day period. Public-street/right-of-way living or sleeping remains prohibited notwithstanding other provisions. This narrow checker does not establish private zoning or hookup permission.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the address and proposal with the local planning or police office before relying on this limited rule check. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
Use the Lavon parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
