Washtenaw County does not zone oversized-vehicle parking; your city or township does. In Ann Arbor residential zones, no vehicle over 22 feet long or commercial vehicle over 5,500 pounds empty weight may use an off-street parking space.
Size and weight limits on residential parking are set by each municipality under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3101), not the county. Ann Arbor Code Sec. 5:166(5) states that in residential zones no person shall park in any off-street parking space any vehicle over 22 feet long or a commercial vehicle licensed for an empty weight of more than 5,500 pounds. This captures large RVs, box trucks and heavy commercial rigs. Sec. 5:166(3) additionally keeps trailers, boats and campers out of the front open space. Verify limits with your own city or township.
Civil infraction under Ann Arbor Chapter 59; the city may issue a ticket and require the vehicle be removed. Fines are set locally.
