Travis County has no ordinance restricting commercial vehicle parking on residential property in unincorporated areas. Texas Transportation Code §622 governs commercial vehicle weight and size on roads. Heavy-haul operations on county roads require TNR overweight/oversize permits. HOAs routinely ban commercial vehicles over 1 ton in residential subdivisions.
Commercial vehicles over 80,000 lbs GVW need TxDMV permits. County roads with posted weight limits are enforced by Travis County Sheriff commercial vehicle enforcement. Idling restrictions under TCEQ 30 TAC §114.512 apply to trucks over 14,000 lbs — no more than 5 minutes in non-attainment areas, though Travis County is currently in attainment.
Overweight vehicle fines: $100-10,000 per TX Transp. Code 623.271. Unauthorized idling: $500-50,000 TCEQ. HOA fines vary.
