Spring Hill, FL Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Spring Hill's residential lots are mostly the broad, single-family suburban parcels platted by Deltona Corporation in the late 1960s and 1970s, with paved or gravel driveways and grass swales rather than continuous curbs. Hernando County's residential parking framework is set out in Appendix A (Zoning) and Chapter 20 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the County Code of Ordinances. The Hernando County Code Enforcement FAQ summarizes the general rule plainly: 'If vehicles are operable and registered, there is no limit to the number of cars allowed, and they are allowed to park on grass.' Inoperable, unregistered, dismantled, or wrecked vehicles are not allowed on the driveway, lawn, or street unless stored entirely out of view from the right-of-way and adjoining properties; the county allows a 30-day repair grace period that begins the day a Code Compliance officer first observes the violation. RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, and boats are limited to the rear or side of the property under Appendix A - they may not be parked beyond the front line of the principal dwelling. Hernando County allows one commercial vehicle to be parked at a residence so long as the resident owns both the vehicle and the property; private HOAs (where present in Spring Hill subdivisions) may impose stricter rules, subject to the limits Florida HB 1203 (effective July 1, 2024) places on HOA covenants over personal vehicles. New driveways, driveway widenings, and modified curb cuts within the county right-of-way require a permit from Hernando County Public Works and must meet the county Land Development Code design standards (surface, sight distance, drainage). On-street driveway-blocking is a Florida Statute 316.1945 violation enforced by the Hernando County Sheriff's Office. Hernando County Code Compliance is reached at 352-754-4056, option 5, at 789 Providence Boulevard, Brooksville, FL 34601.
