Full Breakdown

06(B)(5) makes it unlawful and a declared public nuisance to park farm equipment, trucks (except small panel trucks or pickup trucks), utility trailers, truck trailers, boats, recreational vehicles or buses on any public way in a residential section of the county for more than three hours continuously. Unlike the seven-day thresholds that apply to inoperable vehicles and RV/boat storage on private lots under the same section, this three-hour rule targets larger commercial and oversized vehicles specifically on the public way, meaning streets and roads rather than a homeowner's own driveway or yard.

The exclusion for small panel trucks and pickup trucks means an ordinary work pickup parked on the street is not swept in, but a full tractor-trailer, dump truck, tour bus or piece of farm machinery is. 09 if the owner does not comply. An aggrieved owner can appeal a notice or order to the Daviess County Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals within 20 days of service, filing at the Judge/Executive's office, 212 St. Ann Street, Room 202, Owensboro. As with the rest of the chapter, this rule reaches only unincorporated Daviess County; Owensboro and Whitesville enforce their own separate parking codes.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding the three-hour limit under Section 93.06(B)(5) is punishable under the Chapter 93 penalty in Section 93.99: a fine of $25 to $500 per offense at the court's discretion, with each day of continued violation after notice a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a truck or trailer park on a residential street in Daviess County?
Up to three hours. Section 93.06(B)(5) declares it a public nuisance to leave farm equipment, trucks, utility or truck trailers, boats, RVs or buses on a public way in a residential section beyond that.
Does the three-hour parking limit apply to pickup trucks?
No. Section 93.06(B)(5) expressly excludes small panel trucks and pickup trucks from the limit, so an ordinary work truck parked on the street is not a violation.
Who enforces the commercial vehicle parking limit?
The Solid Waste Coordinator under Sections 93.02 and 93.08, who must give written notice with at least seven days to correct before abating the violation and billing the owner under Section 93.09.
