Fullerton, CA Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Fullerton Municipal Code restricts commercial vehicle parking in residential neighborhoods to preserve the residential character of these areas. Vehicles exceeding specific weight or size thresholds, typically over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating or over a certain length, are generally prohibited from parking on residential streets or being stored on residential properties. This includes dump trucks, semi-trucks and trailers, large box trucks, construction equipment, and similar commercial vehicles. Smaller commercial vehicles such as work vans and pickup trucks used for business that are under the size and weight thresholds may be parked in residential areas subject to standard parking rules. Commercial vehicles with advertising signage may face additional restrictions. Vehicles parked on residential streets are subject to the city's 72-hour parking limitation. Overnight parking of commercial vehicles on residential streets may result in citations. Storage of commercial vehicles on residential property must comply with zoning setback and screening requirements. Commercial vehicles may not be parked on unpaved surfaces in residential zones. Exceptions may exist for active loading and unloading or ongoing permitted construction projects.
