Orange County, NY Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Commercial vehicle parking in Orange County residential zones is regulated by each town and village, not the county. Most Orange County municipalities prohibit parking commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR or 20 ft in length on residential streets or in residential driveways overnight — Town of Wallkill (Code Ch. 248), Town of Newburgh, City of Middletown, and Village of Goshen all follow this pattern. Tractor-trailers, dump trucks, box trucks with commercial lettering, and stake-body trucks are typically banned from residential neighborhoods overnight. Active deliveries are exempt during normal business hours, and construction vehicles working on a permitted job site are usually exempt during construction. NY Vehicle and Traffic Law §1224 governs abandoned vehicles on public roads. Many towns also restrict signage/lettering visible on vehicles parked at residences as an extension of home-occupation rules. Enforcement is typically by town code enforcement or local police, with Orange County Sheriff covering unincorporated areas and mutual aid.
