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

Lakeville addresses oversized vehicles through several provisions rather than a single height/length street limit. For commercial vehicles, Zoning Section 11-19-7 prohibits any commercial vehicle exceeding 22 feet in length and 8 feet in height, or equipment, from being parked or stored in a rural or residential district except when loading, unloading, or rendering service. For recreational equipment, Chapter 22 limits a residential lot to two licensed, operable recreational vehicles, boats, or snowmobiles stored outdoors, all on hard surfaces and outside required setbacks, and never on public property or the street right-of-way. On public streets, City Code 6-1-1-3 prohibits leaving any motor vehicle, trailer, boat, snowmobile, or seasonal vehicle on a street, alley, or city lot for more than 48 hours, and the winter ordinance bans on-street parking from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. between November 1 and April 1 and during forecast snow events. Together these rules keep large trucks, trailers, RVs, and equipment off residential streets and yards except for short, defined purposes.
