Maple Grove, MN Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Maple Grove addresses oversized vehicles chiefly through a weight-based street rule. A vehicle with a gross weight of 12,000 pounds or more may not park on a street for more than 15 minutes unless it is actively engaged in loading or unloading. This captures large trucks, buses and many big motor homes. Trailers are subject to the same time restrictions as other vehicles in that location, so a boat trailer, utility trailer or camper left on the street is treated like any vehicle and limited accordingly. All oversized vehicles are also bound by the citywide rules: no continuous street parking for more than four hours, and no parking on any city street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. year round. For larger recreational vehicles, the city's zoning code separately allows up to two licensed and operable recreational vehicles or pieces of recreational equipment to be stored outdoors on a residential lot, which is where bigger units are expected to be kept rather than on the street. A self-propelled recreational vehicle may receive a temporary on-street exemption permit (typically up to two weeks per year), but non-motorized trailers such as fifth-wheels and horse trailers are excluded from that permit. Oversized vehicles violating these rules can be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense.
