Keller, TX Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Keller restricts parking of commercial vehicles in residential zoning districts through its Zoning Ordinance and Traffic Code. A commercial vehicle for these purposes generally means a vehicle designed or used for transporting property or passengers for hire, including trucks over a specified manufacturers rated weight, typically one-ton capacity or approximately 11,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, tractor-trailers, dump trucks, buses, tow trucks, and heavy equipment. Such vehicles may park in residential districts only temporarily for loading, unloading, or active service calls and may not be stored overnight on residential streets or driveways.

Light commercial vehicles such as standard pickup trucks, service vans, and utility vehicles with limited lettering are generally allowed in residential districts when used as the occupant daily driver. Trailers used for commercial purposes follow similar limits. On-street parking of any commercial vehicle in a residential area is commonly restricted to short service windows during daytime hours. In commercial and industrial zones, parking is permitted subject to screening, loading-dock placement, and noise rules. HOA covenants in Keller frequently reinforce these restrictions and extend them to include work trucks, trailers, and signage on vehicles. Violations of on-street commercial vehicle rules are enforced by Keller Police, and zoning violations on private property are handled by Code Enforcement.
