Tallahassee does not impose a general citywide ban on overnight parking on residential streets. Street parking is largely unregulated by time on non-metered streets, though posted signs and specific zone restrictions may apply in some areas.
Chapter 20 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the Tallahassee Code of Ordinances governs street and parking regulations. Article III, Division 2 (Sections 20-104 et seq.) addresses meter areas and time-posted zones but does not establish a blanket overnight parking prohibition for residential streets. Parking on non-metered, unposted residential streets in Tallahassee is generally permitted at any hour. Florida Statute 316.1945 authorizes municipalities to post specific time restrictions by signage; where no signs are posted, statewide rules govern and generally permit overnight parking. Enforcement of posted-zone violations is handled by the Tallahassee Police Department and the City's Parking Services division.
Violations of posted parking restrictions result in citations enforced under Chapter 20. Fine amounts vary by violation type and are set by the City's parking fine schedule. Vehicles parked in violation of posted signs may be towed at
