On Charleston County-area streets, a vehicle more than 20 feet long generally cannot stop, stand, or park in one spot for more than an hour, a rule the island and city communities enforce. Larger inoperable or junk vehicles on private lots must be screened from view.
The 20-foot street rule that Daniel Island cites from the City Code (Sec. 19-237) is typical for the built-up county area: no vehicle over twenty feet in overall length may stop, stand, or park on any street for more than one hour, which reaches motorhomes, box trucks, and vehicles towing boat trailers. On private residential lots, the county ZLDR governs oversized inoperable vehicles: open storage of inoperable motor vehicles is barred within the required front setback and must be fully screened from off-site view. Sea-island and beach towns may impose additional length and weight caps, so verify your jurisdiction.
On-street oversized-vehicle violations carry municipal fines and possible towing. Zoning screening violations on private lots draw county notices of violation with daily penalties.
