Citrus County, FL Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 3320 of the Citrus County Land Development Code, "Trucks Parked in Selected Land Use Districts," flatly prohibits parking, stopping, or standing a truck (as the LDC defines the term) in the CLR (Coastal and Lakes Residential), HDR (High Density Residential), PUD (Planned Unit Development, other than PUD-Industrial or where an ordinance authorizes it), MHP (Mobile Home Park), and RVP (Recreational Vehicle Park) land use districts. The only exceptions are daylight loading/unloading of building materials, merchandise, or household goods, active maintenance or repair work on the property, a lawful nonconforming or approved Conditional Use, an active Citrus County development order, or crop harvesting where farming is permitted.

No vehicle of any size with an operating motorized cooling unit may be parked, stopped, or stored in those districts at all. In the CL (Low Intensity Coastal and Lakes Residential), RUR (Rural Residential), LDR (Low Density Residential), MDR (Medium Density Residential), PSO (Professional Service Office), NEC (Neighborhood Commercial), and PORT (residential areas only) districts, a truck may be parked only as an approved Conditional Use, and only if the lot exceeds five acres, no parking sits in the established front yard, no detachable semi-trailers are involved, and no more than one truck per lot of record is kept.

Trucks are allowed outright in GNC (General Commercial), CLC (Coastal Lakes Commercial), LIND (Light Industrial), IND (Industrial), PORT industrial areas, AGR (Agriculture), and PUD-Industrial districts. Essential-service utility vehicles providing 24-hour service are exempt, and no provision waives federal or state roadway weight limits. This LDC chapter governs unincorporated Citrus County only; it does not apply inside the incorporated cities of Crystal River or Inverness, each of which enforces its own municipal code.
