Mohave County's rural and agricultural-residential zoning is more tolerant of work vehicles than a city HOA, but parking or storing large commercial trucks, trailers, and equipment in residential zones is limited by zoning use rules and nuisance provisions.
There is no single Arizona statute governing residential commercial-vehicle parking; in unincorporated Mohave County it is shaped by the zoning ordinance's use rules and nuisance code. A resident's registered work pickup or service van parked at home is generally fine, and the county's A-R agricultural-residential zoning gives many rural parcels latitude for equipment tied to a permitted use. Running a trucking, hauling, or heavy-equipment storage operation from a standard residential lot, however, is a commercial use the zone may not allow, and rows of semi-trailers or dump trucks on a residential parcel can trigger zoning and nuisance enforcement. River-city HOA subdivisions in Fort Mohave and Lake Havasu City typically prohibit commercial vehicles outright.
Using a residential lot for prohibited commercial vehicle storage is a zoning violation: correction notice, then escalating fines. HOA subdivisions add their own penalties under CC&Rs.
