Auburn, AL Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Auburn's oversized-vehicle restriction targets large trucks and trailers on public ways. Parking or storing any commercial motor vehicle, utility trailer, or semi-trailer that is greater than seven (7) feet wide or twenty-five (25) feet long is prohibited on any public street, alley, or other public way, except: loading and unloading not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours; use in connection with permitted construction not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours; or use in connection with an adjacent business not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours and only on streets at least thirty-one (31) feet wide. Independently, Auburn Code Sec. 22-26 limits any vehicle to seventy-two (72) hours on a public street regardless of size. On private property, oversized vehicles used for road-service, storage, or similar uses must be kept on paved surfaces under the Zoning Ordinance, and required parking and maneuvering areas must be improved with hard-surface pavement (Section 513). For oversized vehicles traveling rather than parking, Alabama's statewide schedule of size and weight restrictions (Alabama Code Section 32-9-20) and the state oversize/overweight permit system apply. Auburn does not publish a separate residential-street RV or motorhome storage ordinance, so an oversized recreational vehicle on the street is governed by the 72-hour rule and the size thresholds above.
