Palm Coast, FL Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Palm Coast Code Section 44-34(c) defines a commercial vehicle broadly: 'Any agricultural, construction or industrial equipment; any motor vehicle upon which advertising markings have been affixed which occupy in excess of three square feet per side; any motor vehicle having a carrying capacity of more than one ton; any motor vehicle to which has been added a platform rack or other similar apparatus designed for carrying property or cargo, but excluding a standard luggage rack; any pickup truck to which has been added a cargo box, or similar carrying device, which is located outside the flatbed portion of the vehicle, or which is located within the flatbed portion but exceeds the height of the cab portion of the vehicle; any motor vehicle equipped with a hoist or other similar mechanical equipment. The term may include, but is not limited to, a bus, step van, tractor, trailer, semitrailer, or semitruck, limousine, cab, ice cream truck, tow truck or any vehicle which requires a commercial driver's license to operate.' The original prohibition stated: 'It is prohibited and unlawful to park or store a commercial vehicle anywhere in City limits as posted per Florida State Statute 316.1945 at any time unless at a residence for a residential service call.' On November 18-19, 2025, City Council passed on second reading an amendment to Section 44-34(c) allowing one qualifying work truck per residential property in the paved driveway, subject to: weight less than 26,000 pounds; height not more than 9 feet; length not more than 20 feet; equipment attachments not exceeding 2 feet above vehicle height, 2 feet beyond length, or 1 foot wider than vehicle width; and no hanging or exposed loose tools or materials. Markings on the truck are not regulated. Larger commercial vehicles (semis, box trucks, dump trucks, large flatbed trailers, buses), boats, and utility trailers remain banned from residential property. Overnight parking in swales is still prohibited from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. under Section 44-33. Code Enforcement Manager Barbara Grossman was directed to report back to council in six months on potential abuse.
