Peoria County, IL Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

7(7) sets hard size and weight caps on any commercial vehicle, defined in the section as a truck, parked accessory to a residence. A truck cannot be kept at a house if its gross vehicle weight, including any load, exceeds 8,000 pounds, or if it exceeds 21 feet in length, 8 feet in width, or 9 feet in height; large non-motorized attachments such as a semi-trailer are barred outright regardless of the tractor's size. The rule carves out a narrow window for legitimate business activity: an oversized commercial vehicle may still stop at a residence for a reasonable period to pick up or deliver property, or to install, assemble, or prepare delivered property for loading and removal, so a moving truck or delivery semi can load or unload without violating the section.

3, Home Occupations, meaning a resident who runs a properly permitted home occupation is still bound by that section's separate 8,000-pound vehicle cap rather than getting any added leeway for oversized trucks. Passenger automobiles are governed separately under item 6 of the same section, which confines them to the driveway or a nine-foot-wide parallel surface in the front setback, so the truck-specific weight and dimension limits apply on top of, not instead of, the general residential parking rules for the rest of the lot.
