Fort Collins prohibits parking commercial and oversized vehicles on public streets, alleys and rights-of-way, except while they are actively being loaded, unloaded, or used for utility or street work. Unincorporated county rules govern commercial parking through zoning and off-street standards.
Under Fort Collins Traffic Code Section 1214, vehicles over 6,000 pounds empty weight or over 20 feet long may not be parked on public property. Commercial vehicles are exempt only while being expeditiously loaded or unloaded, or when on-board equipment is being used for utility, public utility, or street construction and repair. Once the work or loading is done, the vehicle must comply with the size limits and leave the street. In unincorporated Larimer County, commercial vehicle parking on a business or residential lot is governed by the Land Use Code off-street parking and surfacing standards and the zoning district's allowed uses, not by an on-street ordinance.
Commercial vehicles left on the street after loading are cited and towable; business off-street parking violations are enforced through Larimer County land use code compliance.
