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

Sec. 4.7.4 of the county's Land Development Regulations lists prohibited uses and structures for the RSF Residential, Single Family district, and it bars storage or overnight parking of any commercial or industrial vehicle in excess of one-ton capacity anywhere in RSF-1, RSF-2 or RSF-3. The same section bars trade or service establishments and their associated storage, storage of building materials except during active on-site construction, new mobile homes outside the exceptions in Sec. 4.2 and Article 14, and signs other than those specifically permitted. Because this is a flat prohibited-use listing rather than a special-exception category, there is no administrative approval path inside the RSF district itself; a property owner who wants to keep a heavier truck overnight has to look at rezoning or locating the vehicle on land zoned Agricultural, Commercial or Industrial instead.

The identical one-ton overnight parking prohibition is carried into the county's other primary residential districts, including RSF/MH (mixed single-family/mobile home) under Sec. 4.8.4, so the rule is not limited to a single subdivision type. Code enforcement typically responds to a complaint rather than patrolling routinely, and the county's land development regulation administrator investigates under LDR Article 15 once a signed complaint is filed.
