Full Breakdown

Under Code of Ordinances § 12.04.003, Celina bars parking or storing any oversized vehicle or commercial motor vehicle on public streets, alleys, rights-of-way, or private property anywhere in the city, including residential lots. 'Oversized vehicle' means anything rated over 1.5 tons or longer than 20 feet, wider than seven feet, or taller than seven feet: dump trucks, tractor-trailers, concrete mixers, and buses are named examples. Exceptions cover utility, construction, and delivery vehicles working in the area, and vehicles tied to a business with a valid certificate of occupancy. Section 12.04.005(a)(7)(D) separately caps overnight vehicle size at 23 feet in certain non-residential-adjacent zoning districts.

Violations & Fines

Violating the ban is a citable offense enforceable citywide; the city's general penalty (§ 1.01.009) sets a fine up to $500 per offense, with each day of continued violation a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my work truck at my Celina house overnight?
Only if it's not an 'oversized vehicle' under § 12.04.003 (over 1.5 tons, 20 ft long, 7 ft wide/tall). Larger commercial rigs can't be parked or stored on residential streets or lots, with narrow loading/business exceptions.
Is there an exception for delivery trucks?
Yes. Vehicles actively loading or unloading passengers, freight, or merchandise are exempt, as are utility and construction vehicles working in the vicinity and vehicles tied to a business with a valid certificate of occupancy.
