Any vehicle over a GVWR of 12,000 lbs may not be parked, stored or kept on a residential public street, avenue, alley or right-of-way in unincorporated Lake County (LDR 3.06.03(B)). Boats and RVs must meet front-yard setbacks and extra ones must be screened.
LDR Section 3.06.03(B) is the county's oversized-vehicle rule: no vehicle exceeding 12,000 lbs GVWR may be parked, stored or kept on any residential street or right-of-way (government emergency vehicles exempt). For recreational oversized units, Section 3.06.03 allows a single boat, vessel or RV on a lot if parked to meet the single-family front and secondary-front-yard setbacks; all additional vessels or RVs must be screened from the right-of-way and neighboring properties. Section 3.06.00 sets the district-by-district framework for parking trucks, buses, trailers and commercial vehicles. Incorporated cities set their own oversized-vehicle standards.
Code Enforcement issues a notice of violation; unresolved matters go to the Special Magistrate with daily fines under FS Chapter 162.
