Brazoria County cannot restrict commercial-vehicle parking in the unincorporated area because it has no zoning power. Inside cities such as Pearland, the Unified Development Code limits parking of large commercial vehicles and trucks in residential districts.
Texas counties lack authority to regulate where semi-trucks, box trucks, or other commercial vehicles park on private residential lots or county roads, so no county ordinance applies in unincorporated Brazoria County. Municipalities do regulate this: Pearland's Unified Development Code and property-maintenance provisions restrict parking and storage of oversized commercial vehicles in residential zoning districts. For exact weight thresholds and hours, residents should consult Pearland Community Development or Code Enforcement, since the standards are set by city zoning, not by the county.
No county penalty. City code-enforcement citations (Class C municipal offense) apply inside city limits for storing prohibited commercial vehicles in residential districts.
