Florida Statute §316.1945 controls statewide parking restrictions, while Jacksonville uses standard curb color codes (yellow no-stopping, red fire lane, blue ADA, white passenger loading) painted by Public Works under Ord. Code Title VI. Private curb painting on public right-of-way is prohibited without a permit.
Florida law gives municipalities authority to designate parking restrictions consistent with §316.1945. Jacksonville applies standardized curb colors per Ord. Code Title VI (Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places): red curbs mark fire hydrants and bus zones (no stopping at any time), yellow indicates loading or temporary stopping limits, blue marks ADA accessible parking, and white denotes passenger pickup or short-term loading. Only the Jacksonville Public Works Department may paint or repaint curbs on public right-of-way; residents who paint their own house numbers, names, or no-parking warnings on public curbs commit defacement of public property and may be fined and required to remove or restore the paint at cost.
Unauthorized curb painting is a code violation with civil fines $250-$500 per linear foot, mandatory restoration at owner expense, and possible misdemeanor charge for defacement of public property under Jacksonville Ord. Code Title VI; parking violations are separate and additional.
