TOWNSHIP OF

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE REGULATIONS                                               

Oversized Vehicle & Commercial Parking Regulations: 

 Due to the negative impact commercial vehicles place on traffic congestion and parking conditions within Township neighborhoods, commercial vehicles are not permitted to park unless they are actively rendering services to a Township resident or business. Contractors performing services for an extended duration greater than one 8-hour day are now required to purchase a Contractor's permit. Visit our Business Page for detailed permit information.

Residents with OVERSIZED vehicles: see the description below to see if your vehicle qualifies as a commercial vehicle. It should be noted that a vehicle does NOT have to have commercial plates to qualify.
