In unincorporated Seminole County, oversized commercial trucks over 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight cannot be parked or stored in residentially zoned areas except to load or unload. Personal RVs and pickups are exempt from these size limits. Cities set their own oversized-vehicle rules.
The County's oversized-vehicle limit is the same residential truck rule in Code Sec. 250.75 and Land Development Code Sec. 30.9.4. Trucks over 14,000 pounds GVW, or outside Federal Highway Administration weight classes 1-3, may not be parked or stored in residentially zoned areas other than to load or unload merchandise. Refrigerated trucks running a cooling unit are banned regardless of size. Critically, the ordinance carves out personal pickup trucks and personal recreational vehicles, so a large motorhome or a heavy-duty personal pickup is not treated as a prohibited oversized truck. HOAs and cities frequently impose tighter size and length limits than the County.
Storing a prohibited oversized truck in a residential zone is a code violation enforced by Development Services; citations and daily fines can follow continued noncompliance.
