In Port St. Lucie, parking is prohibited in the front yard except on a surface specifically designed and built for it, and blocking a public or private driveway is barred. You also may not park on private property or in a driveway without the owner's consent.
Port St. Lucie's Section 72.01(h) prohibits parking on any part of an improved residential front yard except in an area specifically designed and constructed for that use, such as an impervious or semi-impervious driveway, and absolutely bars parking on the wide side of the front yard. Section 72.01(b) prohibits standing or parking in front of a public or private driveway, and Section 72.02(b) bars parking on any private driveway or parking area without the owner's consent. Recreational vehicles and utility trailers must sit on a paved driveway or to the side or rear. Unincorporated county rules similarly require front-yard boats, trailers, and RVs on a paved pad.
Front-yard and driveway-blocking violations are enforced by code compliance and police; vehicles blocking a driveway can be ticketed and towed, and improper front-yard parking draws code fines.
