Yavapai County, AZ Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 564 treats outside vehicle storage as an accessory use on residential-zoned parcels, plus the RS, PAD, PM, RCD and OS zoning districts, once a primary residential use is already established on the lot. 1, an occupant may park any number of their own private passenger vehicles outside without limit. For commercial vehicles the rule tightens: one commercial vehicle not exceeding five tons gross vehicle weight is allowed outright, but a second commercial vehicle, or any single commercial vehicle over that five-ton threshold, needs Administrative Review with Comment approval under Section 504 before it can be parked outside.

Every vehicle counted toward these allowances must belong to the property's occupant, must be complete and operable, must carry a current license plate, and must be arranged in an orderly fashion on the lot; a vehicle failing any of those tests is reclassified as disabled or inoperable and falls under the county's separate two-vehicle cap and screening requirement for junk vehicles in the same subsection. The five-ton GVW threshold and the Administrative Review pathway apply the same way county-wide in the unincorporated area, governing a rural five-acre parcel and a standard subdivision lot alike.
