Galveston County has no zoning power over oversized-vehicle parking. The City of Galveston treats a vehicle with more than two axles or a 10,000-pound-plus gross rating as an oversized/commercial vehicle barred from residential streets by day. Unincorporated county areas have no size-based parking limit.
There is no county oversized-vehicle ordinance because Texas counties cannot zone. The City of Galveston uses gross vehicle rating and axle count to define restricted vehicles: those with more than two axles or a manufacturer's gross vehicle rating of 10,000 pounds or more may not park on residential streets or alleys from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. except for loading or emergency repair. Large recreational vehicles and box trucks fall under this and the sec. 34-119 yard-screening rule. League City and Texas City apply their own size thresholds.
Oversized-vehicle citations in the City of Galveston are Class C misdemeanors, and vehicles blocking driveways or roadways may be towed at the owner's expense.
