Orlando regulates overnight on-street parking through City Code Ch. 39 (Traffic and Vehicles). There is no citywide overnight parking ban, but parking is prohibited in posted zones, in front of driveways, within 15 feet of fire hydrants, and for more than 24 hours in one location on residential streets without rotation. Downtown and event zones have stricter time limits and tow-away enforcement.
Orlando does not impose a blanket overnight parking ban on all streets, but several restrictions apply across the city. Under Orlando City Code Ch. 39, vehicles may not remain parked in the same location on a public street for more than 24 consecutive hours without being moved. Posted residential permit zones near downtown, near hospitals, and near the Amway Center restrict overnight parking to permitted vehicles only. Vehicles parked in violation of posted street sweeping, snow route (rare), or special event tow-away signs are subject to citation and towing. Recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, and commercial vehicles over a certain weight have additional restrictions and generally cannot be parked on public streets overnight in residential neighborhoods. Visitor passes are available for permit zones.
Parking citations typically range from $25 to $75 for standard violations. Towing fees and storage charges apply for vehicles removed from tow-away zones. Repeat violations and parking in fire lanes carry higher penalties. Boot and impound for vehicles with multiple unpaid citations.
