Eagan, MN Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Eagan controls oversized vehicles through its vehicle-storage rules and Chapter 9 of the City Code. The clearest threshold is weight: a vehicle exceeding 9,000 pounds gross vehicle weight may be parked on the street for no longer than six hours. Detached trailers are capped at 24 hours of street parking, and large recreational and camping vehicles such as motor homes may not remain on a street or right-of-way for more than 24 hours, a window the city frames as intended for loading and unloading. Semi trailers and truck tractors face the strictest treatment: they may be present in a residential district only to load or unload and may not be stored on residential property at all. When stored on a resident's own property, large recreational vehicles must still be currently licensed and operable and are directed to the driveway, garage, side yard behind the front building line, or rear yard, with camping vehicles in the driveway kept at least 15 feet back from the curb line. These overlapping limits keep buses, large RVs, heavy trucks and trailers from being parked long-term on narrow residential streets. Operators should confirm the precise weight and length thresholds in the current Chapter 9 text, which the City Clerk maintains as the official version.
