Redmond generally prohibits parking large commercial vehicles and semi-trucks on residential streets and in front yards. Small work trucks are allowed at the owner occupant residence.
Redmond Municipal Code Title 10 restricts the parking of oversized commercial vehicles, semi-trailers, tow trucks, dump trucks, and step vans on residential streets and in residential zoning districts. A work vehicle such as a pickup, van, or small box truck used by a resident is generally allowed in the driveway of the owner or tenant. Vehicles over a specified gross vehicle weight rating, typically around 12,000 to 14,000 pounds, are classified as commercial and must be parked in an approved commercial or industrial zone, not on a residential street. Staging for deliveries and short-term loading and unloading is allowed. Food trucks and construction vehicles at active job sites may park with the proper permits. Violations near neighborhoods in Overlake, Willows Road, and SE Redmond Business Park often trigger citations under the city noise and truck-route ordinances.
