Venice Code Ch. 70 and the Land Development Code restrict storage of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Commercial vehicles over a specified weight class generally may not be parked overnight on residential streets or in front yards.
Typical Florida municipal rules limit residential overnight parking of commercial vehicles to those rated 1 ton or less (e.g., a service van or pickup used by the resident). Larger trucks, tractor-trailers, dump trucks and semi-tractors are prohibited in residential zones except briefly for loading/unloading. The Land Development Code may also limit visible signage and equipment storage on commercial vehicles parked at a residence.
Violations are Code offenses under Sec. 1-14 with fines up to $500/day. Repeat citations can support tow under Fla. Stat. 715.07.
