Montgomery County Code §31-14 prohibits parking heavy commercial vehicles (over 10,000 lbs, 21+ ft, 8+ ft high) on public residential roadways. One light commercial vehicle (under 10,000 lbs, under 21 ft) may be parked on a residential lot under ZTA 23-05.
Montgomery County restricts parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Restrictions typically apply to vehicles over 10,000 lbs, vehicles with oversized signage, and multi-axle vehicles. Overnight parking of heavy commercial vehicles prohibited in residential areas. Temporary parking for active deliveries allowed. HOAs may impose additional restrictions. Maryland’s dense suburban communities make commercial vehicle parking a common code compliance issue.
Parking citations $50 to $250. Repeat violations: increased fines. HOA fines per CC&Rs.
