Commercial vehicle storage on residential property is regulated through the Community Development Code. Home businesses in unincorporated areas must comply with home occupation standards including vehicle storage limits. Vehicle storage is a common code compliance issue.
Washington County prohibits or restricts parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Restrictions typically apply to vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR, vehicles with oversized commercial signage, and multi-axle vehicles. Overnight parking of heavy commercial vehicles in residential areas is generally prohibited. Temporary parking for active deliveries or service calls is allowed. Oregon cities regulate through zoning codes.
Parking citations $50 to $250. Repeat violations: increased fines. Towing for oversized or illegally stored commercial vehicles.
