Limits on parking oversized vehicles like RVs, trailers, and large trucks in residential areas are set by your Dakota County city, not the county. Many cities cap vehicle length, weight, or duration in residential zones.
No county-wide ordinance limits oversized-vehicle parking; it is a municipal zoning matter under Minn. Stat. Ch. 462. Cities in Dakota County commonly restrict parking of oversized vehicles (large RVs, boats on trailers, box trucks) on streets and in front yards by length, height, weight, or GVWR, and may cap how long a recreational vehicle can sit on a driveway. On county-maintained roads, oversized parking follows Minn. Stat. Ch. 169 and posted signs. Check your city code for exact size thresholds and any seasonal recreational-vehicle allowances.
Ticket amounts, correction orders, and tow authority are set by the enforcing city. State size/weight rules on county roads carry petty-misdemeanor penalties.
