Commercial Parking Permits

The Town Board enacted a new section of the town code and clarified some definitions to make it easier to enforce already existing limitations on commercial parking outdoors in residence zones. Read more in English or in Spanish about what is and is not allowed under the new law.

  • One commercial vehicle, that is not an industrial vehicle, may be parked outside on a residential lot.
  • No commercial or industrial vehicles may be parked overnight in residential neighborhoods in the town right-of-way.
