Summary

Stark County sets no oversized-vehicle parking zoning; townships and cities do. Canton bars parking or storing a semi-tractor and/or trailer, or a tow truck, in any residential, CS, B-1 or B-2 district, and requires stored trailers to be licensed and in repair.

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

No person shall park or store a semi-tractor and/or trailer in any residential, CS, B-1 or B-2 Districts.

Full Breakdown

Oversized and heavy vehicles are controlled by city and township zoning, not by a countywide code. In Canton, City Code 1134.05(h) prohibits parking or storing a semi-tractor and/or trailer in any residential, CS, B-1 or B-2 district, and 1134.05(g) does the same for tow trucks. Large recreational trailers and motor homes stored under 1134.05(i) must be licensed and in working condition. Massillon, Alliance and townships apply their own ORC Ch. 519 zoning, which commonly caps vehicle size, weight or length allowed on residential lots and streets.

Violations & Fines

Storing a prohibited oversized vehicle in a Canton residential district is a zoning violation abatable after notice, with penalties under Canton 1134.99. On-street size limits are enforced by ticket and tow.
