Orem, UT Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Orem regulates oversized and commercial vehicles primarily through Orem City Code 19-3-4 (Large Vehicles and Trailers). In residential zones it is unlawful at any time to park on a public street any vehicle or trailer, or combination, having an overall length of twenty-five feet (25') or more or which exceeds a rated capacity of one and one-half (1.5) tons. In commercial or industrial zones the same large vehicles may not be parked on a public street between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. Three exceptions apply: (A) when the vehicle is actively involved in permitted construction, landscaping, or other work on or at a specific residence, building, or commercial enterprise; (B) during an emergency requiring parking at a particular location; and (C) when the vehicle is owned or operated by federal, state, or local government and parked for governmental purposes. Statewide, Utah Code 41-6a-1404 governs how any vehicle (including large commercial trucks and trailers) may be left standing on a roadway, requiring an unobstructed width opposite the vehicle and a clear 200-foot view in each direction. Related Orem provisions bar parking a motor vehicle or trailer on a vacant or another person's lot to display it for sale without a City business license (19-3-7) and prohibit displaying a vehicle for sale on a highway, street, or shoulder (19-3-8).
