DeKalb County, GA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

, on residential streets,' sets three separate limits. Subsection (a) bars parking or standing 'any bus, truck or other freight- or passenger-carrying vehicle in excess of one-half-ton capacity upon any public street or highway for a period longer than one (1) hour at any time during the day or night,' so a commercial box truck, moving van or work truck over that weight class can't be left on the street, even overnight. Subsection (b) separately bars stopping or standing any truck or bus wider than eight feet or taller than ten feet on any street or public place unless the driver is 'actually present and in charge thereof,' meaning an unattended oversize rig is a violation regardless of how long it sits.

' Reading the three together, a resident cannot use a public street as long-term storage for a work truck, RV or boat trailer; the vehicle has to be attended, for oversize rigs, or moved within an hour, for heavy vehicles and RVs. The rule sits in Chapter 17, Article IV, Division 1, alongside the other stopping and standing rules, and applies only on public streets in unincorporated DeKalb, not on private driveways or lots.
