In unincorporated Seminole County, trucks over 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight cannot be parked or stored in residentially zoned areas except to load or unload, and no truck of any size with an operating motorized cooling unit is allowed. Personal pickups and RVs are exempt.
Seminole County Code Sec. 250.75 (and the matching Land Development Code Sec. 30.9.4) sets the residential truck rule. It caps parked trucks at 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight and limits them to Federal Highway Administration vehicle weight classes 1 through 3. Refrigerated trucks with running cooling units are banned outright in residential zones. The restriction expressly exempts personal pickup trucks and personal recreational vehicles, so a work pickup a resident drives home is generally fine, but a box truck, dump truck, or semi tractor is not. The rule applies to residentially zoned property in the unincorporated county; incorporated cities regulate commercial vehicles under their own codes.
Enforced as a code violation by the Development Services Department code enforcement; continued residential storage of a prohibited commercial vehicle can lead to citations and fines.
