Salt Lake County, UT Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Title 19 Zoning and Title 14 Traffic of the Salt Lake County Code restrict commercial vehicle parking in residential zones. Commercial vehicle is defined to include trucks exceeding 9,000 pounds GVWR, tractors, semi-trailers, dump trucks, box trucks over 21 feet in length, and vehicles displaying DOT numbers or commercial advertising graphics larger than 3 square feet. These vehicles may not be habitually parked on public streets in residential zones or stored in residential driveways. Temporary parking for active delivery, service calls, or loading is permitted for up to two hours. Construction vehicles serving an active permitted project on the property can park on site during construction. Contractor pickup trucks rated under 9,000 pounds GVWR are generally treated as personal vehicles and not subject to the commercial restriction, though displayed commercial lettering on larger trucks may trigger enforcement. Violations are typically handled first through a courtesy notice, followed by civil citations of 100 dollars or more for repeated offenses. Industrial and commercial zones allow commercial vehicle parking consistent with the primary use. Residents operating home businesses that generate commercial truck activity must comply with home occupation standards that generally prohibit commercial vehicle storage at the residence.
