In unincorporated Pinal County, heavy trucks (commercial vehicles of 19,500 lbs GVWR or more) are prohibited in most residential zoning districts. Larger rural districts allow them, limited to one truck per commercially licensed driver on the parcel, up to a maximum of two trucks.
The Development Services Code (2.185.055) defines a heavy truck as any commercial vehicle rated 19,500 lbs GVWR or more, including the power unit, tractor-trailer combination or trailer alone. Standing, parked or stored heavy trucks are banned in the tighter residential districts (R-43, R-35, R-20, R-12, R-9, R-7, MD, MR, MH-8 and manufactured-home districts). In rural districts (RU-10, RU-5, RU-3.3, RU-2, RU-1.25) they are allowed but restricted to one truck per commercially licensed driver living in a single-family dwelling on the parcel, with a maximum of two per parcel. Exceptions cover active loading/unloading and utility, transportation or construction work. Cities set their own commercial-vehicle rules.
Parking a prohibited commercial vehicle is a zoning violation: Class 2 misdemeanor under A.R.S. 11-808, each day a separate offense, plus civil penalties up to $750 per day.
