Jacksonville Ordinance Code Title VI authorizes commercial loading zones, passenger pickup zones, and short-term curb spaces marked with yellow or white paint and posted signage. Vehicles must observe posted time limits and may not park outside the listed purpose without a permit.
Title VI of the Jacksonville Ord. Code (Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places) plus FL §316.1945 govern curb-loading designations. Yellow curbs indicate freight loading zones with strict time limits (typically 15-30 minutes) for commercial vehicles only; white curbs indicate passenger loading with even shorter limits. Downtown commercial zones, hospital districts, and entertainment venues have the highest concentration of loading zones, and Public Works publishes a loading-zone map. Hotels may apply for a dedicated valet zone with a special permit and annual fee. Personal vehicles using a yellow loading zone for non-commercial purposes can be cited even when staying within posted time limits.
Parking outside the posted purpose (using a yellow zone for personal vehicle, exceeding the time limit, or no signage compliance) brings citations starting at $35 with escalation for repeat offenses, and tow at owner expense if blocking commercial activity.
