Full Breakdown

County Code § 18-17-103 bars parking any vehicle with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds on a residentially zoned or developed lot, with parking allowed only for temporary service. Owners may keep such a vehicle if it's customarily used with an existing lawful use on the lot, or if the parcel sits in an RA or RLD district with an agricultural assessment and the vehicle is part of an active farming operation. Recreational vehicles are exempt from this section entirely. This rule applies countywide in unincorporated areas like Glen Burnie and Severna Park, which have no separate government of their own.

Violations & Fines

Office of Planning and Zoning enforces via civil citation: $125 first offense, $500 second, $1,000 for each violation after that under § 18-17-203.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my box truck at my house in Glen Burnie overnight?
Not if it's rated over 10,000 lbs GVW. County Code § 18-17-103 bars that on residential lots except for temporary service.
Does this rule cover my motorhome or camper?
No. § 18-17-103 expressly exempts recreational vehicles from the oversized-vehicle parking prohibition.
