Charlotte County limits parking heavy commercial vehicles, tandem-axle trucks, and trailers in residential zones, while Florida's 2024 HOA law protects a resident's right to keep a personal work truck in the driveway.
The county zoning code restricts parking or storing large commercial vehicles and tandem-axle or dual-rear-wheel trucks and trailers on residentially zoned lots; a registered work van or pickup used by the resident is generally allowed in a driveway. Florida's 2024 law, HB 1203, bars homeowners' associations from prohibiting an owner or tenant from parking a personal vehicle, including a pickup, or a work vehicle needed for the resident's profession, in their own driveway — though associations may still regulate heavy trucks and commercial lettering. In deed-restricted Port Charlotte and platted subdivisions, covenants apply these limits and typically send oversized commercial vehicles to commercial or industrial property.
Parking a prohibited commercial vehicle, heavy equipment, or tandem-axle truck in a residential zone brings county code-compliance notices and daily fines under Florida's code-enforcement law.
