Mesquite, TX Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Mesquite restricts overnight parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones to preserve neighborhood character. Vehicles with a manufacturer-rated capacity over 1 ton, semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, dump trucks, tow trucks, and similar commercial equipment generally cannot be parked overnight on public streets in residential districts or in residential driveways for extended periods. Daytime parking for active service calls (plumbers, contractors, delivery drivers performing work at the address) is permitted. Box trucks, work vans, and pickup trucks under 1 ton with company markings are typically allowed in driveways subject to property maintenance and HOA standards. Parking commercial trailers, RVs, and large equipment requires either an enclosed/screened side yard or off-site storage. Violations are cited by Code Enforcement (972-216-6284) and may result in towing for repeat offenders.
