Millcreek, PA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

The overnight ban is § 145-34C of the Millcreek Township Code, in the chapter's outside storage section. It names the covered equipment: trucks over one-ton capacity, tandems, tractor-trailers, school buses, tractors, and other commercial construction, earthmoving or cargo-moving vehicles and equipment. None of it can be stored or parked overnight in any Residential Zoning District. The test turns on the word overnight and on the capacity or type of the vehicle, not on whether the owner lives in the house.

Two exclusions are printed. Pickup trucks and passenger vans are excluded in any district. Farm tractors and other related farm equipment used for agricultural purposes are excluded in the Conservation Residential District, where agricultural use is part of the district.

The sections around it matter for a contractor or trucker living in Millcreek Township. Subsection A bars using any lot as a storage area for Junk or Abandoned Vehicles, appliances, scrap or recyclable materials unless the zoning district or another approval expressly authorizes it. Subsection B requires a six-foot Solid Fence screen for outside storage on property that abuts a public Right-of-Way or a Residential Zoning District. Section 145-27I(3) keeps a detached garage from being used for Vehicle Sales, Rental, Service and Repair, though repairs to vehicles the occupant owns are not covered. Recreational vehicles and boats are handled separately in § 145-37, not under this commercial equipment rule.
