Yavapai County's zoning ordinance does not set a county-wide weight or length limit on commercial vehicles parked at a residence, but commercial activity at the property is restricted by home occupation rules.
Personal storage of a commercial vehicle owned by a resident is generally allowed in unincorporated residential areas as an accessory use. The county zoning ordinance does not cap weight or length. However, operating a commercial business from the residence is limited by the home occupation provisions, which require the activity to be clearly incidental to the residential use and to not change the residential character of the property. Outdoor materials storage, commercial deliveries, customer visits, and employees coming to the site are restricted. Incorporated cities such as Prescott, Sedona, and Cottonwood may impose their own size limits, and HOA CC&Rs frequently restrict commercial vehicles further.
Civil zoning violation for home occupations that exceed the incidental-use standard. Notice and abatement by Code Enforcement; continued violations can be referred for civil action or filed as a Class 2 misdemeanor.
