Montgomery County sets no rule on parking commercial vehicles, box trucks, or trailers in residential areas. This is regulated by each borough or township zoning ordinance under the PA Municipalities Planning Code. Many local codes cap vehicle weight or bar overnight commercial parking in residential zones.
Whether a work truck, van, or tractor-trailer may be parked or stored at a home is a zoning question governed by your municipality, not the county. Under the Municipalities Planning Code (Act 247), Montgomery County boroughs and townships commonly restrict commercial vehicles over a stated weight or registered gross weight from parking overnight in residential districts, or limit the number allowed. Rules differ by municipality, so a landscaper's trailer legal in one township may be barred in the next. The county government does not zone land and has no residential commercial-parking ordinance; it only controls parking within its own park facilities.
Enforced by the municipal zoning officer or local police under the local ordinance; fines commonly reach up to $500 per day of continuing violation.
