Dunwoody, GA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 27-206(b)(5) draws a hard line on what can sit outside in a Dunwoody residential yard or driveway. Only licensed, operable motorcycles and passenger vehicles that are not operated as a common or contract carrier for hire may be parked outside of an enclosed building in a residential zoning district. A. Section 40-1-1, from parking outdoors on residential property, with a narrow carve-out only for the immediate loading or unloading of goods or people. The same rule also bars the outdoor parking or storage of construction equipment such as tractors, skid steers, backhoes, forklifts, and cement mixers, though it does not reach a lawful construction staging area set up for active work on the property.

A related but separate rule in subsection (b)(6) covers recreational equipment: trailers, recreational vehicles, travel trailers, campers, pickup coaches, motorized homes, boats, and boat trailers may not be parked or stored in a street yard or within 20 feet of any lot line, though it does not ban them from a residential lot outright the way commercial vehicles are banned. Both rules sit within the broader Section 27-206 framework governing where required off-street parking may be located in each zoning district, including the R and RA districts' rule that parking is confined to approved, surfaced driveways.
