Colorado Springs, CO Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Two provisions work together to keep heavy commercial trucks off residential blocks. 102(A)(11), the City's illegal-parking statute, declares it unlawful to park "any commercial vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of ten thousand one (10,001) pounds or greater" on a street, highway, alley, roadway or public right-of-way in a Residential Zone District, as that district is defined in Article 2 of Chapter 7 of the Code (the Unified Development Code's zoning-district article). 101(W) grants the City the separate authority to have the same class of vehicle towed and impounded outright, without the driver first tripping the 72-hour continuous-parking rule that governs ordinary passenger vehicles under subsection G of that same section.

104 requires the towing department to mail or personally serve impoundment notice on the registered owner and any lienholder within 72 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, describing how to request a hearing. 105, goes before the Municipal Court's Presiding Judge or a designated Referee, who may waive part or all of the towing, impound and storage charges. Because the ordinance turns on GVWR rather than physical length or an "RV" label, it reaches box trucks, dump trucks, tractors and other job-site vehicles registered at or above the 10,001-pound threshold, distinct from the City's separate recreational-vehicle storage rules.

201: up to a $2,500 fine, up to 189 days in jail, probation, or a combination, unless the Municipal Court's violations-bureau schedule sets a lower payable fine.
