Scottsdale, AZ Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Scottsdale Code of Ordinances Section 17-113, "Over-sized vehicles on residential streets," prohibits parking or storing on any street or alley in a residential area or zone any commercially registered vehicle whose chassis is rated for more than one ton, and any vehicle exceeding twenty-two feet in length, regardless of registration class. The only carve-out lets such a vehicle stop briefly while loading, unloading, delivering goods, or making a service call at a residence in the area; parking or storing the vehicle there for any longer purpose, including overnight parking by a contractor, hauler or commercial driver who lives on the street, is prohibited.

Enforcement runs through the general parking-article machinery at Sections 17-102 through 17-104: the person in whose name the vehicle is registered is presumed responsible, and an officer, police aide, authorized city employee or authorized volunteer may issue a written notice of violation attached to the vehicle stating the date, time, location, license number and code section violated. 00 and a summons and complaint issues to city court. Because Section 17-113 sits inside chapter 17's general parking article rather than the zoning ordinance, its 22-foot length and one-ton chassis thresholds apply uniformly across every residentially zoned street and alley in the city, and the rule targets big-rig and heavy-chassis commercial trucks rather than personal pickups or vans that fall under the size and weight cutoffs.
