Covington rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Covington, a truck or any vehicle with a manufacturer's gross weight over 10,000 pounds may not park in a residential section for longer than one hour, except when loading or unloading.
In Covington, the city code limits trucks and vehicles with a manufacturer's gross weight over 10,000 pounds to one hour in residential sections except while loading or unloading, and it bars leaving trailers, dumpsters and other objects on the street unless they are attached to a licensed motor vehicle. Public Works asks for a right-of-way encroachment permit at least 10 business days before anyone occupies a public right-of-way, and the city can bag parking meters for planned activities. Vehicles may not stay in one spot on a street for more than 72 hours, residential permit zones give each dwelling unit two resident permits with one visitor permit each, and cars left in the way of plows during a declared snow emergency can be towed.
