Storage of oversized vehicles—large RVs, semis, heavy equipment—is regulated under the county zoning and property-maintenance standards in the Billings-fringe jurisdiction. On unzoned rural land the county sets no size limit, though junk/inoperable units still fall under the Community Decay Ordinance.
Yellowstone County's zoning code, enforced within about 4.5 miles of Billings, includes "storage and parking of vehicles" among the standards for each district, which can limit how large vehicles are stored on residential lots and how far into required setbacks. In genuinely rural, unzoned parts of the county there is no oversized-vehicle storage limit at the county level. Regardless of zoning, if an oversized vehicle is inoperable and visible from a public right-of-way, it is treated as a junk vehicle under MCA 75-10-501 and must be shielded from public view or removed. Movement of overwidth/overweight loads on public roads is a separate state permitting matter handled by the Montana Department of Transportation, not county parking rules.
Zoning/Community Decay complaint enforcement with a typical minimum 30-day cure period; visible inoperable oversized vehicles must be shielded or hauled under the Junk Vehicle Program.
