Macomb County has no countywide commercial-vehicle ordinance for residential property; each city and township sets limits under MCL 125.3101. The county's direct role is on county roads, where the Department of Roads permits trucking in the right-of-way, and on park grounds, where Metroparks confine vehicles to designated spaces.
Residential commercial-vehicle parking in Macomb County is regulated by each municipality's zoning code, not the County. Local codes commonly limit a home to one light commercial vehicle and bar semi-tractors, trailers, and dump trucks outside industrial zones. The County's authority appears on county roads: the Macomb County Department of Roads Permits Department (586-463-8671, 117 South Groesbeck Highway, Mount Clemens) issues permits for trucking and construction within the right-of-way. On park grounds, Metroparks Rule 9 requires vehicles to park only in designated spaces. A commercial vehicle left over 48 hours on a public street is processed under MCL 257.252a.
Residential commercial-vehicle violations are municipal civil infractions set by each city or township, commonly $100-$300 first offense plus tow for repeat cases. Trucking in the county right-of-way without a Department of Roads permit is a separate violation with restoration costs.
