Delaware County sets no rule for parking oversized vehicles at a residence. Size, weight, and residential-street limits are set by each municipality under the PA Municipalities Planning Code, while highway dimension and weight limits come from the statewide PA Vehicle Code.
Where an oversized vehicle — a box truck, bus, motor home, or over-length trailer — may be parked near residential property is municipal in Pennsylvania. Under the Municipalities Planning Code (53 P.S. §10101 et seq.), Delco boroughs and townships commonly limit the length, height, gross weight, or number of large vehicles stored in residential zones and may bar them from certain streets overnight. Separately, the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code (75 Pa.C.S.) sets statewide limits on vehicle width, height, length, and weight for highway operation and lets local authorities post streets and restrict parking. The county controls only its own park lots, where vehicles must use designated spaces. Check your municipality's zoning and traffic ordinances for dimension and weight caps.
Residential oversized-vehicle violations are enforced by municipal zoning or police as summary offenses, with fines set by local ordinance. Oversize or overweight operation on highways is cited under the PA Vehicle Code and requires a state permit.
