Rock County has no countywide rule barring commercial trucks or trailers from residential streets or driveways. Cities, villages, and the unincorporated towns' zoning codes decide whether semis, box trucks, and heavy commercial vehicles may be parked in residential areas.
Whether you can park a commercial vehicle at home in Rock County depends on where you live. In the unincorporated towns that adopted county zoning (Wis. Stat. 59.69), the town zoning district may limit the size or number of commercial vehicles on a residential lot. Inside Janesville, Beloit, and the villages, the municipal code governs, and many prohibit parking semi-tractors, trailers, or large trucks in residential zones. The county does not issue a countywide commercial-vehicle parking permit. Weight limits on county roads are posted and enforced separately from residential-parking rules.
Enforced by the municipality or town as a zoning or parking violation; forfeitures commonly range from about $50 to several hundred dollars, and repeat violations can escalate.
