Full Breakdown

Curbs and the street right-of-way are public property in St. Lucie County, and no ordinance authorizes a resident to paint a curb red or otherwise mark it to reserve parking. In Port St. Lucie, Section 72.05 designates the city manager as the city's agent for establishing restricted parking areas and no-parking areas, and Section 72.07 governs restricted parking zones set by official signs. Parking limits near hydrants, corners, crosswalks, and fire lanes come from Section 72.01 and Florida law, shown by official signs and markings, not homeowner paint. Unauthorized curb markings are unenforceable, and questions about a needed restriction should go to the city or county public works department.

Violations & Fines

Only official markings are enforceable; unauthorized painting or marking of the public right-of-way can itself draw a code-compliance notice, and homemade 'no parking' markings carry no legal weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I paint the curb in front of my house to stop parking?
No. The curb is public right-of-way; only the city may establish no-parking areas and markings. In Port St. Lucie that authority rests with the city manager under Section 72.05.
How do I get a no-parking zone near my driveway?
Contact Port St. Lucie or St. Lucie County public works. The city establishes restricted and no-parking areas with official signs and markings where a restriction is warranted.
