A vehicle which has an overall length of more than twenty-two feet (22'), or 3. Any trailer. (B) Exceptions: Paragraph (A) shall not apply when: 1. In the Manufacturing District, or 2. The person is engaged in the actual loading or unloading of passengers or property, or 3.

Full Breakdown
Section 9-6-8 of the Twin Falls City Code, adopted by the Twin Falls City Council, is the city's rule on heavy and long vehicles. Paragraph (A) lists three categories that no person may park on any street or alley: a motor vehicle of one and one-half (1 1/2) ton capacity or more, a vehicle with an overall length of more than twenty-two feet (22'), and any trailer. Because the tests are alternatives, a vehicle that meets any one of them is covered. A pickup towing a utility trailer is caught by the trailer category even though the pickup itself is neither heavy nor long.
Paragraph (B) provides three exceptions. The first is the Manufacturing District, where the ban does not apply. The second is when the person is engaged in the actual loading or unloading of passengers or property. The third is an ongoing, lawful construction project conducted under a valid City of Twin Falls permit, where the trailer or vehicle is parked within one hundred feet (100') of that construction. All three conditions in the construction exception must be true together: the project must be ongoing, it must be lawful, and the permit must be a City of Twin Falls permit.
The text reaches streets and alleys. It does not address private driveways or yards, and the Title 10 zoning chapter in the published city code is only a reserved placeholder, so this page does not describe any residential-district storage rule. Section 9-6-8 was last amended by Ordinance O-2025-008 on April 21, 2025. Enforcement runs through the chapter's ticketing procedure in Section 9-6-21, administered by the Twin Falls Police Department and any person designated by the city.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 6 violations carry the Section 9-6-21 fine of thirty five dollars ($35.00), or fifty dollars ($50.00) if unpaid after three (3) business days. The registered owner is held prima facie responsible when the operator cannot be identified. After written notice mailed to the last known address, the city can sign a complaint once five (5) days have passed from the notice.
