Jurisdiction and research scope
Inside Pflugerville city limits only. Chapter 71 and the publisher’s new-laws ledger were read October 20, 2026; the ledger showed no known uncodified laws. Section 71.02(B) has awkward numbering around “major recreational equipment”; uncertain classifications and occupied-use approvals are left for Police/Planning.

Pflugerville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Street | Generally prohibited; specific exceptions need their exact facts. |
| Trailer loading | Up to 24 hours during the stated loading/preparation activity. |
| Small trailer | Capacity at most 3,000 pounds; 7 a.m.–7 p.m. only. |
| Front / side yard | Continuous concrete, brick or asphalt under every wheel; registration and security also matter. |
| Sleeping / hookups | Separate use and connection confirmation; parking exception alone is insufficient. |
Can an RV or trailer stay on a Pflugerville street?
Section 71.02(A) names motorhomes with permanent sleeping/sanitary facilities and towable trailers. Separate triggers cover vehicles over 9,500 pounds or over 24 feet; being smaller does not exempt a motorhome or trailer. Street, alley and sidewalk are all covered.
When does the 24-hour trailer exception apply?
Section 71.02(B) describes trailers being loaded, unloaded or otherwise prepared for use/storage for no more than 24 hours. It is activity-specific. The published numbering places an incomplete “major recreational equipment” lead-in before the numbered exceptions; obtain Police classification for a motorhome rather than extending the trailer clause automatically.
What does the 3,000-pound daytime exception mean?
The small-trailer exception uses load-carrying capacity of 3,000 pounds or less and the daily period from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Capacity is different from empty weight. A trailer that remains overnight cannot use this daytime route.
Can an RV be stored in a driveway or side yard?
Section 71.02(C) requires every wheel in front or side yards to use permanently maintained concrete, brick or asphalt connected continuously from the curb, street or alley. It separately requires current registration, a parking brake or manufactured chocks, and clear sidewalks/rights-of-way. Its mapped Old Town single-family exception needs address-specific confirmation; no rear-yard permission is inferred.
Does the human-occupancy exception approve living there?
The street section mentions human occupancy for up to 24 hours and a good-cause Police extension not exceeding five days in a 30-day period. Treat that as a parking-enforcement exception requiring its own facts, not independent approval of residential land use, sanitation or utility connections. Sleeping and ongoing dwelling remain separate City questions in this checker.
Does a long stay trigger floodplain requirements?
Section 151.36(G) applies in its listed A1–30, AH and AE flood zones. RVs must use one of the stated alternatives: fewer than 180 consecutive days, fully licensed and highway-ready, or the referenced permit/elevation/anchoring route. Quick-disconnect utilities, wheels/jacks and no permanent additions define highway readiness. This flood rule does not replace street or zoning controls.
