Grand Rapids and other communities limit or prohibit parking heavy commercial vehicles on residential streets and lots.
Parking of commercial vehicles, semi-tractors, trailers, and box trucks in residential areas is a municipal matter in Kent County, handled through local zoning and traffic ordinances rather than a county code. Most Kent County cities restrict or prohibit parking large commercial vehicles on residential streets or in residential-zoned yards, often by weight, length, or number of axles, with exceptions for active loading/unloading. Because the specific weight thresholds and permitted durations differ by community (Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Walker each have their own), you must check the ordinance for the city or township where you park. The only genuinely county-operated parking regime is at Gerald R. Ford International Airport, where the Kent County Aeronautics Board controls all vehicle parking. For residential
Municipal civil infractions and possible tow. Cities ticket commercial vehicles parked in violation of local weight/zone limits on residential streets or lots; penalties are set by each community's ordinance.
