Port St. Lucie regulates large vehicles by type: commercial vehicles of 10,000 pounds GVW or more are banned from residential zones, and only one enclosed and one open utility trailer may be kept on a residential parcel, on a paved driveway or to the side or rear.
Rather than a single length or weight street ban, Port St. Lucie limits oversized vehicles through several sections. Section 72.03 bars commercial vehicles of 10,000 pounds GVW or more, buses, and heavy equipment from residential zones. Section 72.10 allows only one enclosed utility trailer (professionally made, 20 feet or less, under 10,000 pounds, fully enclosed) and one open utility trailer per residential parcel, each on a paved driveway or to the side or rear with the rear setback maintained. Section 73.04 puts recreational vehicles and boats under the same garage, paved-driveway, or side/rear rule. Unincorporated county code bars vehicles over 10,000 pounds GVW or with dual axles from residential zones.
Enforced as parking or code violations; commercial-vehicle fines run $100 to $250, and non-conforming trailers or RVs must be relocated to a compliant, screened location.
