Dallas Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking Rules (2026)

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.
