Forsyth County's Unified Development Code restricts commercial-vehicle parking in residential zones. Heavy trucks, semis, and trailers are barred; a single light work van or pickup used by the resident is generally allowed.
Forsyth County regulates residential commercial-vehicle parking through the Unified Development Code. Semi-tractors, trailers, dump trucks, and other heavy commercial vehicles may not be parked or stored in residential districts. A resident's personal-use work van or pickup is typically permitted in a driveway, and temporary parking for active deliveries and service calls is allowed. Contractors and landscapers with heavier equipment must keep it on commercial or industrial property. Across Forsyth's HOA subdivisions, covenants commonly prohibit any commercial vehicle, lettered van, or equipment trailer from being parked in view, enforced separately from county zoning.
Parking a prohibited commercial vehicle in a residential zone brings county zoning citations and daily fines, with towing possible. HOA covenants add separate fines for visible commercial vehicles.
