City Parking Rules

Published on October 01, 2024

City streets, including the one in front of your home, are considered public places. You may not like it when someone parks in front of your home, but it’s legal to do so in most cases. Here are some parking rules residents ask about most often.

Street Parking - Vehicles can be parked on any public street unless otherwise prohibited by official signage. Never block driveways or fire hydrants when parking on a public street, and never park over a sidewalk, crosswalk or in an intersection.

Alley Parking - It’s unlawful for any driver to park a vehicle within an alley.

Lawn Parking - It’s unlawful to park a vehicle on unpaved portions of residential front or side yards. That includes a car, truck, bus, motorcycle, motorhome, camper, trailer, boat or any vehicle. Residents are only permitted to park in a driveway or paved parking spot.

Violations carry a penalty of up to $200 to $500 per day, plus court costs and possible towing. To report violations, use the MyFW app on your smart phone, call the police non-emergency number 817-392-4222 or report online.
