Miramar, FL Parking Rules: Preferential Parking Districts (2026)

Section 20-48(q) of the City of Miramar's parking code is the mechanism for restricting or reserving on-street parking to protect a neighborhood. " The provision sits inside § 20-48, the general parking-regulations article that applies citywide in all zoning districts, so a restricted-parking designation under subsection (q) can cover a residential block, a commercial corridor, or any other area the police chief identifies as a safety concern. The ordinance sets no numeric cap on how many areas may be designated, requires no public hearing, and creates no resident parking permits or stickers; it is a discretionary administrative tool triggered by signage, not a formal application-based district program.

Once signs are posted under a subsection (q) designation, parking in violation is separately enforceable under subsection (n), "No parking zones," which makes it a violation to park in an area the city has marked with No Parking, No Stopping/Standing, or No Parking Fire Lane signage. Violations are cited and adjudicated the same way as other Chapter 20 parking tickets, through the police department or code enforcement division and, if contested, before the Clerk of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit acting as hearing officer under § 20-53.
