Full Breakdown

Code Sec. 72.15 sets the residential commercial-vehicle limits. No truck, tractor, or trailer with a capacity over one ton, or the chassis of one, may park on any city street between 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. The same section bars parking any vehicle at one street location for more than 14 consecutive days and parking any vehicle without a valid, current license plate. Using a street to repair or recondition a vehicle is prohibited except in an emergency. Light pickups and service vans a resident uses are generally allowed in a driveway, but heavier commercial trucks and equipment belong on commercial property overnight. Zoning rules in the Unified Development Code govern commercial activity in residential districts.

Violations & Fines

An oversized commercial vehicle on a city street overnight is ticketed and may be towed at the owner's expense under Sec. 72.02. Exceeding the 14-day limit, missing plates, or street repairs draw citations.
