In unincorporated Clackamas County residential zones, parking a large truck over 11,000 pounds GVW requires county approval. On county roads, commercial vehicles follow the same Code 7.01 rules as other vehicles, including the 18-foot clearance and 72-hour limits.
Clackamas County Code Enforcement advises that large trucks over 11,000 pounds gross vehicle weight in residential zones require approval, so routinely storing a semi-tractor, dump truck or heavy commercial vehicle at a home is a zoning/code-enforcement matter rather than an outright allowance. On the public road, commercial vehicles are subject to the general Code 7.01.020 parking restrictions (parallel parking, 18-foot clearance, 72-hour move rule, no-parking signs). Cities such as Oregon City and Happy Valley set their own commercial-vehicle limits in residential neighborhoods.
Zoning/code-enforcement action for an oversized truck in a residential zone; on-road violations draw a Sheriff parking citation and possible tow.
