South Fulton, GA Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

South Fulton restricts oversized and heavy vehicles through both its Code of Ordinances and its Zoning Ordinance. Under Title 8 (Traffic and Vehicles), it is unlawful to park, between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on the right-of-way of any residential street, ramp, road, or highway under the city's jurisdiction, any non-motorized vehicle or conveyance, or any motorized vehicle designated by the Georgia Department of Public Safety for a license tag in any weight category higher than 26,000 pounds. Exceptions apply to construction vehicles, trailers, or equipment temporarily within an active construction area for dwellings under construction, and to recreation/noncommercial trailers and boats being transported along the street. On private property, the city Zoning Ordinance Sec. 607 prohibits storing or parking commercial trucks and heavy vehicles, and any trailer exceeding 4 tons empty weight, in any agricultural or residential zoning district unless engaged in moving household goods or making deliveries. Heavy construction equipment (earth-moving equipment, tractors, etc.) may be parked in residential, agricultural, and most non-residential districts only during construction under an active building or land-disturbance permit. Title 8 oversized/heavy-vehicle violations carry escalating fines.
