Full Breakdown
Section 30-49(12) of the Miami-Dade County Code prohibits parking a vehicle overnight on any street, road or highway that is marked to prohibit all-night parking, for longer than 30 minutes during the posted hours, with an exception for physicians and other persons on emergency calls. The Traffic Engineering Division decides where to post the restriction, so unsigned streets are not covered. Under Section 30-40, the Miami-Dade Parking Code governs County and municipal streets, highways and roads in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas and is the sole and exclusive parking ordinance for those matters countywide, reaching all 34 municipalities. A violation of subsection (12) is a $42.00 civil citation, rising to $52.00 if unpaid after 30 days, per the fine schedule in Section 30-50.
Violations & Fines
Parking overnight past the 30-minute grace period on a street posted with all-night parking signs draws a $42.00 civil citation, increasing to $52.00 if unpaid within 30 days.
