Austin allows RVs in driveways for short periods (loading, trip prep), but long-term driveway storage of large RVs can violate nuisance and zoning rules, especially if it blocks sidewalks. HOAs very commonly ban visible RV parking.
Source: Austin code compliance; HOA covenants.
What to do
A few days for trip prep is fine; months is asking for a complaint.
Never block the sidewalk — that's enforced quickly.
Check your HOA first: this is one of the most common HOA violations.
Consider off-site RV storage for long term.
