Summary
The county Zoning Ordinance limits oversized commercial rigs on residential lots to FHWA Classes 1, 2, 3, and 5 (heavy Class 5 capped at one), and allows only one travel or camping trailer per residential lot.
No more than three commercial vehicles are permitted per residentially zoned parcel and a maximum of one of the three permitted vehicles may be Class 5. Commercial vehicles used for hauling explosives, gasoline, or liquefied petroleum products are prohibited.
Full Breakdown
There is no single 'oversized vehicle' ordinance, but the county Zoning Ordinance's vehicle-storage rules effectively cap large vehicles on residentially zoned parcels. Sec. 9:5.2 permits only FHWA Class 1, 2, 3, and 5 commercial vehicles, no more than three total and at most one Class 5 (the heaviest allowed), and bans explosives/fuel/LP haulers. Sec. 9:5.1 limits residential lots to one travel or camping trailer that may not be occupied. Larger vehicles and equipment above Class 5 are not permitted to be stored on residential parcels. Inoperable oversized vehicles trigger nuisance and junkyard-screening requirements. Cities apply their own size and weight parking limits.
Violations & Fines
Storing a prohibited class, exceeding the three-vehicle cap, or keeping an extra trailer is a zoning violation handled by Code Enforcement (864.467.7090).
