Noblesville, IN Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Noblesville layers three rules on oversized vehicles. Section 72.56 (Truck Parking Restrictions) provides that 'commercial vehicles of two tons capacity or more or commercial vehicles more than 20 feet in length shall not park within the residential or business district on public right-of-way of this city except for the purpose of loading or unloading.' Section 72.47 (Parking on public street) adds that 'no person shall park a motor vehicle on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours' and 'no person shall stop, stand, or park an unattached trailer of any kind on any public street, alley, or roadway except for vehicles used in conjunction with public utility repairs or maintenance of their utilities,' with limited temporary exceptions for approved booths and concessions. Section 72.10 (Parking not to obstruct traffic) requires every parked vehicle to leave at least 18 feet of usable roadway width on streets other than alleys; Section 72.11 requires 12 feet in alleys and prohibits blocking an abutting driveway. On a residential lot, the city's Vehicle and Trailer Guide caps the resident at two recreational vehicles parked or stored at any one time, with one additional visiting RV permitted for a maximum of 10 consecutive days and not to exceed 14 days in any one year; Section 72.46 prohibits storing equipment or vehicles in a city right-of-way, easement, street, or temporary cul-de-sac unless specifically authorized by the Board of Public Works & Safety or by a qualifying permit. Indiana Code 9-21-16-5 layers in the state-law no-parking distances: 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, on a sidewalk, 30 feet of a stop sign or signal. The Noblesville Police Department dispatches community service officers to inspect vehicles and trailers in the public right-of-way; the Planning Department's Code Enforcement Division handles residential-lot complaints.
