Unincorporated Leon County has no Land Development Code (Chapter 10) section restricting where a resident parks or stores a recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer on a residential lot - no front-yard ban or surface rule. The main limits are the county Junk Code (Chapter 14, Article III) and the rule that living in an RV travel trailer is not allowed. A boat or RV must stay operable with a valid tag or be enclosed, or it can be cited as junk.
Unincorporated Leon County has no codified ordinance capping the size or number of commercial vehicles parked at a residence. The Code Compliance Program FAQ does exclude 'oversized vehicles, such as semi-trucks' from the rule that there is no limit on operable, tagged vehicles - signaling semi-trucks are not treated as ordinary residential vehicles. Commercial trucks must still be operable with a valid tag (or enclosed) to avoid the Chapter 14 Junk Code, and Chapter 10 zoning controls where commercial activity may occur.
On-street parking on the unincorporated Leon County road system is governed mainly by Florida state law - Statute 316.194 controls parking on highways outside municipalities.

Disabled-space parking is enforced under Section 12-5 with a $250 fine. The City of Tallahassee enforces its own separate rules.
