Macon County, IL Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

008 defines GARAGE, PRIVATE as an area attached to a dwelling or a detached accessory building designed or used for storing privately owned motor-driven vehicles owned and used by the occupants of the dwelling to which it is accessory, and the definition caps that storage at not more than one truck or commercial vehicle, and prohibits any vehicle exceeding a two-ton capacity, regardless of count. 115, so the two-ton and single-commercial-vehicle limits set the outer edge of what that accessory use can hold before it stops being a GARAGE, PRIVATE under the code.

053, bars any motor vehicle repair work or service in conjunction with a parking facility and restricts selling gasoline or motor oil from an accessory parking area unless it is enclosed in a building with the pumps screened from public view, reinforcing that residential garage and driveway parking is meant for vehicle storage rather than servicing or commercial fueling operations. Together these sections mean a resident of unincorporated Macon County can keep one truck or commercial vehicle at or under two tons in a private garage, but a second commercial vehicle, or any single vehicle heavier than two tons, falls outside the private-garage definition and the accessory use it supports.
