Calaveras County does not publish a stand-alone county-wide ordinance restricting commercial-vehicle or semi-truck parking on residential roads. On unincorporated roads, commercial vehicles are governed by the California Vehicle Code, with residential commercial uses addressed through Title 17 zoning.
Calaveras County's published code does not include a specific county-wide residential commercial-vehicle parking ban of the kind found in dense cities. Where a commercial vehicle parks on a County road, the California Vehicle Code applies: CVC §22500 governs unlawful stopping and parking, and CVC Division 15 (Size, Weight and Load) sets statewide limits — for example, CVC §35550 caps the gross weight on any one axle at 20,000 pounds. Operating a business from a home, including parking of business vehicles and equipment, is regulated under Title 17 zoning's home-occupation and use standards rather than a traffic ordinance, and complaints are handled by Code Compliance as potential nuisances. In winter snow communities, Calaveras Code §10.28 still applies to commercial vehicles: trucks parked on the pavement or in the right-of-way during snow removal may be towed. Because there is no published county fine schedule specific to commercial-vehicle parking, enforcement defaults to Vehicle Code citations and zoning/nuisance abatement.
Commercial vehicles parked unlawfully on County roads are cited under the California Vehicle Code (CVC §22500); overweight vehicles violate CVC §35550. Home-based commercial-vehicle storage problems are pursued as Title 17 zoning/nuisance violations through Code Compliance.
