The county Nuisance Code does not limit properly licensed, operational oversized vehicles on your property. Size and weight of vehicles operated on public roads follow Kansas law (K.S.A. Ch. 8, Art. 19). Cities within the county set their own oversized-parking rules.
Sedgwick County sets no residential ordinance restricting the parking of large but properly registered vehicles (buses, motorhomes, heavy trailers) in unincorporated areas; the Nuisance Code confirms it does not cap 'properly licensed and operational vehicles.' Statewide size and weight limits for vehicles operated on Kansas highways are set in K.S.A. Chapter 8, Article 19, and oversize movements require KDOT permits. An oversized vehicle that is inoperable is subject to the nine-vehicle Nuisance Code storage limit and screening rule. Incorporated cities such as Wichita adopt their own ordinances limiting oversized-vehicle parking on city streets and residential lots.
Operating an over-dimension vehicle on highways without a KDOT permit violates state law; inoperable oversized vehicles are abated under the county Nuisance Code.
