Eagan, MN Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

The City of Eagan addresses commercial and heavy vehicles through its vehicle storage rules and Chapter 9 of the City Code. The city states that semi trailers and truck tractors may be in residential districts only for the purpose of loading or unloading and may not be stored on residential properties. For weight-based limits, vehicles exceeding 9,000 pounds gross vehicle weight may be parked on the street for no longer than six hours, and detached trailers for no longer than 24 hours. These limits are designed to keep large vehicles from being parked or stored long-term in residential neighborhoods, where they can obstruct sightlines, damage pavement and create safety hazards. Passenger vehicles by contrast must simply be currently licensed and operable when stored in residential areas. Eagan publishes the controlling language through the City Clerk and the Municode codifier, so operators of box trucks, semis or other heavy equipment should confirm the current weight thresholds, time limits and any business-district allowances directly in the Chapter 9 text. Commercial vehicles parked on private commercial property are governed separately by the city's zoning code rather than the on-street parking limits.
