St. Johns County limits parking heavy commercial vehicles, trailers, and equipment in residential zones through zoning rules, while Florida's 2024 HOA law protects a resident's right to keep a personal work truck in the driveway.
The county's Land Development Code restricts parking or storing large commercial vehicles, semi-trailers, and heavy equipment on residentially zoned lots; a registered work van or pickup used by the resident is generally allowed in a driveway. Florida's 2024 law, HB 1203, bars homeowners' associations from prohibiting an owner or tenant from parking a personal vehicle, including a pickup truck, or a work vehicle needed for the resident's profession, in their own driveway, though HOAs may still regulate heavy trucks and commercial lettering. Communities such as Nocatee and Ponte Vedra apply these limits through covenants and typically send oversized commercial vehicles to commercial or industrial property.
Parking a prohibited commercial vehicle or heavy equipment in a residential zone brings county code-enforcement notices and Special Magistrate fines, up to $1,000 per day for first violations and more for repeat offenders.
