Summary

A household in unincorporated Floyd County can keep only one commercial vehicle parked outdoors on a residential lot. The Unified Land Development Code (Appendix B) ties outdoor vehicle storage to the same capacity limits set for private garages, one commercial vehicle per family, on top of garage limits of up to four automobiles for a one- or two-family dwelling.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Floyd County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

a.Private garage not to exceed the following storage capacities; one or two-family dwelling, 4 automobiles; multi-family dwelling, 2 automobiles per dwelling unit; group dwelling, 1½ automobiles per sleeping room.b.Outdoor parking area for motor vehicles, provided that such space does not exceed the maximum respective storage capacities listed in (a) above; and provided that such space shall not be used for more than 1 commercial vehicle per family residing on the premises.

Full Breakdown

3(a) sets the baseline storage capacity for a private garage as a customary accessory use to a dwelling: up to 4 automobiles for a one- or two-family dwelling, 2 automobiles per unit for a multi-family dwelling, and 1½ automobiles per sleeping room for a group dwelling. 3(b) extends that same cap to any outdoor parking area for motor vehicles, so an outdoor area cannot exceed the storage capacity that would apply if the vehicles were garaged, and it adds a separate limit specific to commercial vehicles: outdoor parking space may not be used for more than one commercial vehicle per family residing on the premises.

Together the two subsections mean a homeowner can store ordinary passenger vehicles up to the garage-equivalent count, but only a single commercial truck or work vehicle can sit outside at a time, regardless of how many are titled to the household. 3(l)(4)(b). Enforcement runs through the Rome-Floyd County Planning Department and Building Inspection, which acts on complaints the same way it enforces other accessory-use standards in Article 4.

Violations & Fines

Parking more than one commercial vehicle outdoors on a residential lot, or exceeding the garage-equivalent capacity in ULDC § 4.2.3(a)-(b), is a Development Code violation. Under § 7.5.3, the Chief Building Inspector can order the excess vehicle removed, and § 7.6.2 makes the violation a misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail, with each day a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many commercial vehicles can I park outside my house in Floyd County?
One. ULDC § 4.2.3(b) limits outdoor parking areas on a residential lot to no more than one commercial vehicle per family residing on the premises.
Does the commercial-vehicle limit apply to a garage too?
The garage limit is separate and higher: § 4.2.3(a) allows up to 4 automobiles in a private garage for a one- or two-family dwelling, but outdoor parking still tops out at one commercial vehicle.
What counts toward the outdoor parking cap?
Any motor vehicle stored in an outdoor parking area on the lot counts toward the same capacity that would apply if it were garaged, with only one of those spaces allowed to hold a commercial vehicle.
