Fort Myers rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Fort Myers, a commercial vehicle of 1½ tons or more can park in a residential district for no more than two hours, except while it is being loaded or unloaded.
Fort Myers limits commercial vehicles of 1½ tons or more to two hours of parking in residential districts, except while loading or unloading, and bans through truck traffic on historic McGregor Boulevard except for trucks traveling to or from a place next to it that could not otherwise be reached. A temporary storage container of up to 200 square feet may sit on a single-family or duplex lot for up to 30 days, and the Land Development Code section covering it says temporary uses need a permit first. At single-family homes, vehicles must park on the driveway or a permitted improved surface, and a vehicle may not stay in an alley for more than 15 minutes unless nine feet of roadway is left open.
