Palm Beach Gardens, FL Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Section 70-62(18) of the Palm Beach Gardens Code makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park a motor vehicle "on the roadway or street" anywhere in the city between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. A companion provision, subsection (12), extends the same 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. window to city-owned property, unless the city has approved otherwise. Together these subsections create a citywide overnight parking curfew that applies to ordinary residential streets, not just posted zones, so a car left at the curb overnight anywhere in Palm Beach Gardens is exposed to a citation regardless of whether a sign is posted.

Enforcement runs through the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department under Section 70-64, which ties civil penalties to the city's master fees and charges schedule as set by city council resolution rather than a flat dollar figure printed in the code. The city routes 20 percent of every civil penalty collected under this chapter into police training programs, a direct funding link between overnight-parking enforcement and officer training budgets. If the department issues a citation, Section 70-66 gives the registered owner 30 days to pay by mail or at the city's cashier's office, or to file a written request with the police department for a hearing contesting the notice within that same 30-day window. Miss both deadlines and the fine, plus any late fee, moves toward collection, and unpaid handicap or repeat parking violations can be reported to the state to block license plate renewal under Section 70-67.
