Bay County limits parking large commercial trucks, semis, and heavy equipment overnight in residential neighborhoods. Contractor pickups and vans for active work are fine; storing a rig at home is not.
County and city zoning restrict overnight parking of heavy commercial vehicles (semi-tractors, trailers, dump trucks, and large equipment) in residential districts, typically keyed to weight (around 10,000-plus lbs), size, or oversized commercial signage. A work pickup, van, or small service truck parked at the driver's home is normally allowed; storing a tractor-trailer, box truck, or construction equipment in a neighborhood is not. Temporary parking for active deliveries, moving, or a service call is permitted. Subdivisions and HOAs around Panama City, Lynn Haven, and Callaway commonly add their own bans on commercial vehicles and lettered trucks.
Parking citations and code-compliance fines apply to prohibited commercial vehicles, escalating on repeat offenses. HOAs and CDDs impose separate fines under their covenants.
