Oversized vehicles — trucks, trailers or vehicles with three or more axles or over 14,900 lbs GVWR — may not park in a Chattanooga residential district, on the street or private property, except while loading (City Code § 24-286(f)). Junked oversized vehicles are a nuisance under § 24-344.
Chattanooga § 24-286(f) prohibits standing or parking a truck, trailer or motor vehicle with three (3) or more axles, or a GVWR over fourteen thousand nine hundred (14,900) pounds, in a residential district on either a street right-of-way or private property, except during loading. For trailers, the weight limit applies to the combined trailer-and-tow-vehicle weight and their axles are counted together; property zoned commercial or industrial is exempt. Oversized RVs, campers and trailers are also barred from residential rights-of-way from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. under § 24-286(e). A junked or inoperable oversized vehicle on private land is a public nuisance under § 24-344. In the unincorporated county, storage is a zoning matter.
Chattanooga can ticket or remove offending vehicles under § 24-303 and abate junked ones as a nuisance; county storage issues go to the Regional Planning Agency, with abandoned vehicles removed under TCA Title 55, Chapter 16.
