Sarasota County does not have a residential curb-painting ordinance for house numbers or personal parking. Painting or marking a public curb is not a homeowner right; official curb markings follow Florida's MUTCD/FDOT traffic standards and are placed only by the road authority.
There is no unincorporated Sarasota County rule allowing residents to paint address numbers or reserve parking by painting the curb, and no code requiring it. Curbs, curb markings, and pavement striping in the public right-of-way are traffic-control devices governed by the Florida Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (adopting the national MUTCD) and installed by the county or FDOT, not by property owners. Unauthorized painting or marking of a public curb or right-of-way can itself be a right-of-way encroachment. Fire-lane and no-parking curb markings are enforced under state traffic law. Cities within the county set their own curb-marking programs.
Unauthorized right-of-way markings can be a code/right-of-way violation subject to removal; parking against official red/no-parking curbs is a traffic violation.
