Fort Worth residents should be aware of three key ordinances to ensure compliance with local and state laws.
Firstly, the City of Fort Worth prohibits parking vehicles on any unpaved portions of residential front or side yards. Residents are only permitted to park in a driveway or paved parking spot. Violations can result in parking citations. To report violations or for questions, contact the Police Department’s nonemergency line at 817-392-4222.
Secondly, junk vehicles on private property are considered a public nuisance due to the safety hazards they pose. A vehicle is classified as junk if it meets certain criteria. Fines for violations can reach up to $200, and the vehicle may be towed.
Lastly, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are not allowed on public streets. Driving an ATV on a public roadway is illegal under the Texas Transportation Code.
