Lake County, FL Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

00 governs vehicle parking in the county's residential-type zoning districts, including A, RA, AR, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-6, R-7, R-10, RP, RMRP, RM and RV. 03(A), any number of operable, currently licensed vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 12,000 pounds or less may be parked outright, and up to three unlicensed but operable vehicles of that weight class are also allowed outdoors; any number can be stored inside a fully enclosed building regardless of condition. Heavier commercial trucks are treated differently.

03(C), a parcel must be five acres or larger before a single licensed vehicle exceeding 12,000 pounds GVWR can be parked there, and only if it is used by a resident of that lot; if the heavy vehicle is a trailer, the truck that tows it may also stay. Outside that five-acre threshold, no vehicle rated at 12,000 pounds or more may sit on a public street, alley, right-of-way, or any lot in the listed districts unless another Code section permits it. 02 resolves disputes over a vehicle's weight class by deferring to the Florida DMV's classification on the certificate of title, or to the manufacturer's GVWR specification.

03(D)), delivery, pickup, or service vehicles calling on a residence (E), utility and government vehicles used for repair work or required to be driven home for emergency response (G, H), and vehicles used in ongoing agricultural work such as citrus harvesting (I). Any vehicle that becomes disabled must be hauled away within twenty-four hours regardless of the cause of the breakdown (F). 00 was rewritten in full by Ordinance No. 2023-67, adopted November 28, 2023.
