Clay County, FL Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 13-53 of the Clay County Code sets the county's core stopping, standing, and parking prohibitions for the unincorporated area and for the City of Keystone Heights. Drivers cannot stop, stand, or park on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, on the roadway side of another parked vehicle, on a bridge or in a tunnel, on railroad tracks, or wherever a traffic-control device bars it. A second tier of rules bars standing or parking, even momentarily beyond picking up or dropping off a passenger, in front of a public or private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet of a stop sign or flashing signal, or within 20 to 75 feet of a fire station entrance.

Every vehicle parked on a two-way street must sit parallel to the curb with its right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the edge under Sec. 13-53(b), and on a one-way street the same 12-inch rule applies to whichever curb matches the direction of travel. A deputy sheriff or a trained parking enforcement specialist enforces the article under Sec. 13-57 by attaching a parking ticket to the vehicle, and Sec. 13-61 extends the whole article to county-owned property located inside chartered municipalities as well as to Keystone Heights itself. Separate sections cover handicapped parking spaces (Sec. 13-54, a $245 penalty) and fire lanes (Sec. 13-55).
