Hollywood, FL Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Section 72.008 targets streets the city has specifically signed against overnight parking, not every residential block; the prohibition only applies where a sign is posted "giving notice thereof." Within the posted window, a vehicle can sit for no more than 30 minutes between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., and the only people excused are physicians and others responding to emergency calls. The Office of Parking & Intergovernmental Affairs enforces the chapter with help from the Police Department and Code Enforcement, per sections 72.150 and 72.999(H).

A Parking Enforcement Officer, Code Enforcement Officer, or Community Service Officer who finds a violation issues a citation under section 72.151(B) that must be paid within ten business days, either affixed to the vehicle or mailed for violations caught by license plate reader or camera. Beyond a fine, Police Department members are separately authorized under section 72.153(A) to remove a vehicle found unattended overnight from a city street, swale, or public parking facility to a garage or other place of safety. A vehicle owner who misses the ten-business-day payment window faces a $10 late fee, and a further $25 fee after 30 business days, before the debt is referred to a collection attorney or agent under section 72.999(J)(3), which can add a collection fee of up to 40% of the amount owed.

Overtime metered parking is a separate offense under section 72.027 and carries its own escalating fine schedule, so an all-night violation and a metered overstay can be cited independently on the same vehicle.
