Full Breakdown

Sec. 22-9(C) of the Wellington Code applies to residential zoning districts and residential land use categories, including the Equestrian Overlay Zoning District. The on-street rule is absolute: no person may park, store, or keep a commercial vehicle on any public street, thoroughfare, or right-of-way. Off-street, a resident may not park a commercial vehicle on residential property for more than one hour between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and cannot park one at all between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Subsection C(2) then carves out exceptions: one commercial vehicle per dwelling unit is allowed if it is operative, registered, displays a current tag, and no part of it is visible from the street or adjoining properties, and a vehicle marked commercial only because of outside lettering may stay if the lettering is fully covered.

Construction vehicles get a temporary pass while a valid building permit is displayed on site; delivery and service vehicles are exempt while actually making deliveries or service calls beyond the one-hour cap; a disabled commercial vehicle must be removed within 24 hours of breaking down; and government vehicles under a one-ton payload cap, assigned to a household member by a federal, state, county, or municipal agency, are exempt subject to F.S. ch. 316. Sec. 22-9(E) lets the Village grant a special exception where a property owner, family member, or tenant has a physical disability that requires a vehicle that otherwise cannot meet the section.

Violations & Fines

Wellington Code Compliance Officers or Law Enforcement Officers enforce Sec. 22-9 under Sec. 22-8. A commercial vehicle parked on-street, or kept off-street beyond the one-hour daytime window or overnight without an exception, is a civil infraction referred through the Village's Supplemental Code Compliance Procedures under Chapter 2, which caps citation penalties at $500.00 per violation and allows a repeat violation to be cited immediately without a prior notice-and-cure period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my work truck in my driveway overnight in Wellington?
Not between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Sec. 22-9(C) bars overnight off-street parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts entirely, and even during the day it's limited to one hour unless the vehicle is fully hidden from the street and neighbors.
Is there any way to keep a commercial vehicle at home legally?
Yes, one per dwelling unit, if it is operative, currently registered, and no part of it is visible from the street or adjoining properties under Sec. 22-9(C)(2)(a). Any commercial lettering on it must be completely covered.
What if my delivery truck breaks down in front of my house?
Sec. 22-9(C)(2)(d) allows that temporary emergency parking, but the disabled commercial vehicle must still be removed within 24 hours of the breakdown regardless of the cause, or the continued parking becomes its own separate violation of the general prohibition.
