Harrison County regulates commercial vehicle parking in residential areas through zoning ordinances under MS Code Ann. §21-19-1. Vehicles over 10,000 pounds GVWR or exceeding 22 feet in length are typically prohibited from overnight residential parking. One personal commercial vehicle such as a work truck or van may be permitted if it fits within a standard driveway.
