Summary

Iron County Code § 17.36.150 bars storing commercial vehicles and construction equipment on any lot in an agricultural or residential zoning district in unincorporated Iron County. Farm machinery tied to an agricultural use is exempt, and construction equipment may stay on-site while a building on that lot is under construction, but never longer than one year.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Iron County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

The storage of commercial vehicles, excluding agricultural machinery and equipment ancillary to an agricultural use, and the storage of construction equipment shall not be permitted on any lot in any agricultural or residential district, provided that construction equipment may be stored on a lot during construction of a building thereon, but shall not exceed one year.

Full Breakdown

Section 17.36.150 flatly prohibits the storage of commercial vehicles on any lot zoned agricultural or residential in unincorporated Iron County, covering districts such as A-20, RA-20, RR-20, R-5, R-2, R-1, R-1/2 and R4K. The ban does not reach agricultural machinery and equipment that is ancillary to an agricultural use on the same property, recognizing that farm trucks, tractors and implements are part of normal agricultural operations rather than commercial storage. Construction equipment gets a narrower exception: it may be kept on a residential or agricultural lot only while a building is actively being constructed on that lot, and even then the storage cannot continue for more than one year.

The rule sits in Chapter 17.36, General Requirements and Property Development Standards, alongside the county's other yard and use restrictions, and applies regardless of whether the vehicle is parked in a driveway, side yard or open field on the property. It is separate from the home-occupation rules in Section 17.36.020, which separately limit a home business to one motorized vehicle no larger than one ton and one trailer under 20 feet, with no commercial vehicle allowed for that use either. Iron County Planning and Zoning/Building fields complaints about parked semi-trucks, dump trucks and similar commercial equipment in residential neighborhoods and can order the vehicle removed from the lot.

Violations & Fines

Storing a commercial vehicle on an agricultural or residential lot, or keeping construction equipment on-site more than one year after construction began, is a zoning violation. Iron County Planning and Zoning/Building can issue a notice of violation requiring the vehicle's removal, and the county's general penalty at Iron County Code § 1.08 applies where the ordinance itself sets no separate fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my semi-truck at my house in unincorporated Iron County?
No. Iron County Code § 17.36.150 prohibits storing commercial vehicles on any lot in an agricultural or residential zoning district, with no exception for a resident's own truck used for work.
Is farm equipment exempt from the commercial vehicle storage ban?
Yes. Agricultural machinery and equipment ancillary to an agricultural use on the property is excluded from the ban in Section 17.36.150, so tractors, combines and similar farm implements can stay on an agricultural lot.
How long can a contractor keep equipment on a residential building lot?
Construction equipment may be stored on the lot only while a building is being constructed there, and Section 17.36.150 caps that storage at one year even if construction is still underway.
