Summary
Collier County has no ordinance letting residents paint curbs. Curb and pavement markings in the right-of-way are controlled by the county or FDOT, and Code Section 110-31 requires a permit for any work in the public right-of-way, so unauthorized curb painting or obstruction is prohibited.
It shall be unlawful for any Responsible Party to dig, excavate, obstruct, or place any construction or other material, or perform any other work which disturbs the existing structure and/or compaction of soil in any right-of-way provided for public use in Collier County... without first obtaining a permit for such work from the County.

Full Breakdown
There is no Collier County ordinance authorizing homeowners to paint curbs, whether for house numbers or no-parking markings, on the public right-of-way. Official traffic and parking curb markings, such as yellow or red no-parking zones, are installed and controlled by Collier County Transportation, or by FDOT on state roads. Under Code Section 110-31.A, it is unlawful to obstruct, place material on, or perform any work that disturbs a public right-of-way without first obtaining a county permit, so painting or marking the curb without authorization is prohibited and can be treated as an obstruction. Curb-number painting solicitation may require a Business Tax Receipt and cannot create enforceable parking restrictions.
Violations & Fines
Unauthorized curb painting or right-of-way obstruction is enforced under Section 110-31 through Code Enforcement notices, removal, restoration costs, and fines.
