Summary

Commercial trucks with more than six wheels can't be left parked overnight in platted Reservoir Community District subdivisions, except while working on the premises, per Art. XXX § 3007.03.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Rankin County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

It shall be unlawful to leave parked overnight in any platted subdivision any commercial class of vehicle with more than six wheels, except for a period not to exceed time the truck is required in the conduct of work on the premises.

Full Breakdown

Section 3007.03 makes it unlawful to leave a commercial vehicle with more than six wheels parked overnight in any platted subdivision of the Reservoir Community District, unless the truck is on-site for the duration it's needed to do work at that property. The rule targets heavy commercial trucks specifically: it doesn't set a general overnight parking curfew for ordinary passenger vehicles. It applies only to unincorporated Rankin County subdivisions inside the RCD overlay near the Ross Barnett Reservoir, not inside Brandon, Pearl, Flowood or the county's other incorporated towns.

Violations & Fines

A commercial truck with more than six wheels left parked overnight in an RCD subdivision, when not actively needed for work at that property, violates Section 3007.03.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a contractor's truck stay overnight during a remodel?
Yes. Section 3007.03 exempts a heavy commercial truck for the period it's actually required for work being done on the premises.
Does this ban overnight parking for regular cars?
No. Section 3007.03 only restricts commercial vehicles with more than six wheels, not ordinary passenger cars or pickups.
