Sarasota County has no blanket ban on overnight parking of a properly registered passenger vehicle in your own driveway or on-street where signs permit. The county does prohibit overnight/long-term storage of commercial and oversized vehicles in residential districts and rights-of-way.
Residents can park a personal, operational, tagged vehicle overnight on their own property. The Unified Development Code, however, bans overnight parking or storage of semi-trucks, trailers, dump trucks, wreckers, bucket trucks, construction equipment, tractors, box trucks, food-vending vehicles, and any commercial vehicle over the weight limit in residential districts. Right-of-way overnight storage is also prohibited. County parks and beaches close overnight, so vehicles left there after hours can be cited. Incorporated cities set their own overnight and beach-area parking limits.
Cited as a code violation; notice to comply, then daily fines via the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate. After-hours park vehicles may be towed.
