Orange County, FL Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Chapter 35, Section 35-63(a)(3) of the Orange County Code prohibits parking or storing a "dual rear wheeled vehicle" on any street or right-of-way in the unincorporated area of the county. Section 35-1 defines a dual rear wheel vehicle as a motor truck, trailer, semitrailer, tractor/trailer combination, or any other vehicle "which have more than or are designed to have more than four (4) weight-bearing wheels." The definition specifically carves out ordinary dual-wheel pickup trucks not used for commercial purposes, and it excludes public service vehicles such as utility or emergency service trucks when approved by the zoning manager.

The street parking ban is not absolute: Section 35-63(a)(3) allows a dual rear wheel vehicle to sit temporarily on a street or right-of-way while it is actually engaged in providing emergency utility services, loading or unloading persons or property, or actively providing a landscaping, construction or repair service on an adjacent property. Outside those windows, the truck cannot linger at the curb overnight or between jobs.

The county's Land Use Development Code reinforces the street-level ban with a companion rule for private property. Under Section 38-79(42), dual rear wheel vehicles may only be parked or stored outdoors in the A-1, A-2, RCE-5, RCE-2 and RCE agricultural and rural zoning districts, and only when the vehicle is used in conjunction with an active agricultural operation on that same site, subject to paved parking, buffering, screening and drainage standards. Outside those agricultural districts, storing a dual rear wheel vehicle outdoors anywhere in unincorporated Orange County, including on streets and rights-of-way, is prohibited except during the same temporary loading, unloading or service window.
