Amarillo restricts the parking of heavy commercial vehicles in residential areas. Large trucks, tractor-trailers, and heavy equipment should not be stored or parked overnight in residential zoning districts.
Amarillo's zoning ordinance limits the parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts. Heavy trucks, tractor-trailers, construction equipment, and commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR are restricted from being parked or stored in residential zones. Standard work trucks and vans used daily by residents are generally acceptable. The restriction is intended to maintain the residential character of neighborhoods and prevent noise, safety, and traffic impacts from commercial vehicles.
Parking prohibited commercial vehicles in residential areas can result in code enforcement citations and fines.
