Spring Hill, TN Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 15-608 is titled as a restriction on parking of commercial and recreational vehicles on public streets in residential zones. Paragraph (A)(1) sets the clock: no commercial vehicle on public streets between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. at night, except for the purpose of actively loading, unloading or servicing the adjacent property. From 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., commercial vehicle parking is restricted to two hours daily. A commercial vehicle is allowed to exceed that restriction while it is currently in use for construction, maintenance, servicing or emergency response servicing the adjacent property. The paragraph concludes that there is no overnight parking of any commercial vehicle on public streets within residentially-zoned districts unless the Chief of Police or his or her designate specifically authorizes it.

Paragraph (A)(2) defines a COMMERCIAL VEHICLE by six tests: any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 8,000 pounds or more; any vehicle designed to carry 16 or more passengers including the driver; any vehicle of any size used in the transportation of hazardous materials as defined in Tenn. Code Ann. § 68-212-101; any trailer or semi-trailer in excess of 30 feet, whether or not attached to another vehicle; any vehicle with three or more axles; and any vehicle licensed and/or used primarily for commercial purposes.

Subsection (C) excludes emergency and public utility service vehicles entirely. Subsection (D) creates the permit path: each residential lot within the city can request a permit from the Chief of Police for overnight parking on public streets, and a valid permit allows continuous on-street parking for 72 hours from the effective time and date of the permit.

Two other Title 15 rules reach trucks. Section 15-125 makes it unlawful for any vehicle over 10,000 pounds gross vehicular weight to travel through residential streets except for necessary service calls, deliveries or pick up services, and § 15-123 bans through truck traffic on Doc Robertson Road, Maury Hill Street, Depot Street, Toone Prados Street, Spruce Street, Buckner Road, McLemore Street and Hughes Street.
