Holiday Travel Safety and Home Watch Tips

With the holiday season fast approaching, Precinct 5 encourages Nottingham Country residents to utilize the free Vacation Watch service. By submitting a request online at constablepct5.com/vacation-watch or calling dispatch at 281-463-6666, homeowners can have deputies check on their properties while they’re away—offering extra peace of mind during one of the busiest travel seasons of the year.

Additionally, officials urge residents to stay vigilant about home safety, especially when renting, leasing, or selling their property. Squatting incidents have increased in the region, particularly in vacant homes. Law enforcement reminds residents to perform thorough background checks and monitor properties regularly. Thanks to recently approved legislation, civil deputies now have greater authority to remove squatters in certain legal situations.

Parking Enforcement Update: What You Need to Know

There’s also been clarification around parking enforcement—a common concern in many neighborhoods. Deputies have reiterated that while parking is generally allowed on public roads over five years old, vehicles left too long or without valid registration may be considered abandoned. Key reminders include:

• Vehicles cannot remain parked on roads longer than 48 hours.
• Expired registration and long-term stationary vehicles may be tagged.
• Once tagged, a vehicle may be towed after 48 hours, or sooner if it’s a hazard.

Need to Report Something?

For any non-emergency assistance, residents should call the dispatch line at 281-463-6666. In case of emergency, always dial 9-1-1. Additionally, Precinct 5 offers a convenient online reporting form found here for certain non-urgent matters.
