Everett, MA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 18-139(d) of the Everett Revised Ordinances is the heavy-truck rule for the City of Everett, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County. It reaches any vehicle or trailer that has six wheels or more and any truck with a capacity of one ton or over. The ban applies on any public way, in a dwelling or apartment zone or in a municipal parking lot, between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., and it applies at any time on Sundays and Holidays. The only carve-out is for commercial vehicles or trailers parked for the purpose of deliveries or pick-ups between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., and that stop cannot exceed one hour.

Subsection (e) covers smaller commercial vehicles. A commercial, taxi, livery, dealer (plates) or repair plated vehicle with four wheels cannot stay more than twenty-four hours Monday through Friday on any public way or part of a public way in a dwelling or apartment zone, in a municipal parking lot or in a service zone.

The resident sticker program does not rescue these vehicles. Section 18-149(f) lists vehicles with six wheels or more as described in Section 18-139(d), taxicabs and vehicles bearing livery plates, buses over 25 feet in length, vehicles exceeding 22 feet in length, trailers, and recreational vehicles and campers as not eligible for a residential parking sticker.

A separate rule, Section 18-13, keeps vehicles used or designed for the transportation of goods, wares or merchandise off the designated streets listed in a schedule on file in the City Clerk's office. Its exemptions cover emergency vehicles, vehicles collecting or delivering goods to premises on those streets, vehicles used for construction or repair of the streets, water supply, sewers or utility lines, and any motor vehicle that weighs less than 13 tons with its load and has no trailer attached. Section 18-4 makes the chief of police responsible for enforcing the chapter.
