Miramar, FL Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 20-49(b) of Miramar's parking code, part of the article on residential-zoned properties, bans stopping, standing, or parking any commercial motor vehicle on streets, swales, alleys, parkways, or private properties in residential zoning districts, with four narrow carve-outs. A commercial vehicle may stop for a bona fide pick-up or delivery of no more than two hours. It may park at a residence undergoing construction or repair under a current, valid permit, but only while actively engaged in that work. Standard pickup and panel trucks rated at one ton or less are exempt outright, meaning most personal work trucks are not "commercial motor vehicles" for this rule.

And any vehicle parked entirely inside a garage, or inside a carport where no part of it extends past the roofline, is exempt regardless of size. Section 20-50(b) applies the parallel rule to nonresidential zoning districts, where the parking and storage of trucks in areas zoned for agricultural, commercial, or industrial uses that are not associated with the established business located on the property is prohibited, closing the loophole of parking an unrelated truck fleet on a commercial lot. Chapter 20 does not set a specific gross-vehicle-weight threshold for "commercial motor vehicle" beyond the one-ton pickup/panel-truck exemption, so enforcement in practice turns on whether the vehicle is a marked or registered commercial unit exceeding that exemption.
