Dallas City Code Chapter 28 and Chapter 18A prohibit parking commercial trucks, tractor-trailers, and oversized vehicles longer than 22 feet or taller than 7 feet on residential streets overnight. RVs and boats fall under separate Chapter 28 limits regardless of registration status.
Dallas Code Chapter 28 prohibits parking any motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer with a length exceeding 22 feet or height exceeding 7 feet on streets in residentially zoned areas between specified evening and morning hours. Chapter 18A regulates taxicabs and TNC vehicles separately but applies the same residential-street prohibition to oversized for-hire vehicles. Class 6+ trucks, box trucks, dump trucks, and 18-wheelers face citation and towing if parked overnight in residential neighborhoods. RVs, motorhomes, and boats on trailers may park briefly for loading but cannot remain on residential streets beyond 24-72 hours under separate RV-parking provisions. Active commercial deliveries and emergency-service vehicles are exempt during work, but employee storage of company trucks at home triggers violations.
Citations range $50-$200 with towing for vehicles obstructing visibility, blocking driveways, or remaining beyond posted limits. Repeat offenders may face escalating fines and impound under Chapter 28.
