Oak Park rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Oak Park, a portable moving pod may sit on a residential lot for up to 30 days without a permit, but it must be on a hard surface such as a driveway and is prohibited in the right-of-way.
Oak Park's zoning code lets a moving pod sit on a residential lot for up to 30 days without a permit, as long as it is on a hard surface such as a driveway and not in the right-of-way. Commercial vehicles may only park on city streets while promptly loading or unloading, recreational vehicles and trailers can't park on streets at all, and a street parking ban takes effect automatically once four inches of snow and ice have built up.
