Olmsted County, MN Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

G targets heavy commercial vehicles specifically: no truck or commercial vehicle carrying a commercial (Y-type) license plate and rated at 12,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or more may be parked on a residential premises in any R district for a consecutive period of four hours or longer. The rule is written around the vehicle's weight class and plate type, not simply whether it looks like a work truck, so a lighter pickup with commercial branding is not automatically caught by the limit. The only carve-out in the section is for necessary construction vehicles actively used during a construction project on the same premises; once that construction period ends, the four-hour cap applies again.

B and C, which govern where any vehicle, commercial or not, may be stored on a residential lot. Because the standard is countywide within R districts rather than district-specific, it applies the same way whether the property sits in R-A, R-1 or R-2 zoning.
