Glen Cove, NY Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Under Glen Cove City Code § 280-46, no commercial vehicle may be garaged in a residential zoning district unless the vehicle's owner or its regular operator resides on the property where it is kept, and no more than one commercial vehicle per dwelling unit is allowed. If a resident cannot garage a commercial truck at home, the Director of the Building Department may issue a written, revocable permit allowing the owner to garage a single commercial vehicle at other property he or she owns instead of at the residence.

That permit is discretionary and can be revoked, so any homeowner relying on it should keep the written approval on file. Enforcement of the garaging rule flows through § 280-74, the general zoning penalty section: a first zoning violation carries a fine of $1,000 to $2,000 or up to 15 days in jail, a second offense within five years rises to $2,000-$3,500, and a third rises to $3,500-$5,000, with each week the violation continues counting as a separate offense. Separately, Chapter 265's traffic code addresses where a commercial vehicle can sit outdoors overnight.

3 sets the ticket for that offense at $150. A Glen Cove homeowner with a box truck or contractor's van has to store it inside a garage they occupy, off the street overnight, or get the Building Department's written sign-off for an alternate lot. 2.
