No Kent County ordinance sets a size limit for parking oversized vehicles on local streets; cities and townships do, usually through the same rules that cover commercial vehicles and RVs. Communities like Kentwood and Grand Rapids restrict where large vehicles may be stored or left on the street.
Kent County does not cap the length, height, or weight of vehicles parked on local residential streets — that authority sits with each city, village, and township. Oversized vehicles (large RVs, box trucks, buses, semi-trailers, and heavy equipment) are typically handled under a community's commercial-vehicle and recreational-vehicle ordinances, which limit street parking by size and require rear-yard or off-site storage. For example, Kentwood bars front-yard storage of recreational equipment and requires rear-yard storage, and Grand Rapids restricts recreational and commercial vehicles on residential streets and lots. Thresholds and permitted durations differ by municipality, so check the ordinance where you park. On county-operated property, only Gerald R. Ford International Airport has a dedicated Kent County parking ordinance, administered by the Aeronautics
Municipal civil infraction and possible tow, under each community's commercial-vehicle or RV storage provisions. The county does not ticket oversized vehicles on local streets.
