Dade City, FL Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Article II of Chapter 94 of the Dade City Code of Ordinances sets the on-street stopping, standing and parking rules for Dade City, Pasco County, Florida. Sec. 94-31 requires a vehicle parked on a two-way roadway to sit with its right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the curb or edge of the roadway, with wheels turned into the curb on a hill; on a one-way roadway, a vehicle may park along either curb within 12 inches, still parallel and facing the direction of traffic.

Sec. 94-33(a)(1) bars stopping, standing or parking on the roadway side of another parked vehicle, on a sidewalk, in an intersection, on a crosswalk, on railroad tracks, on a bicycle path, in a handicapped zone, or wherever official signs prohibit it. Sec. 94-33(a)(2) adds a second layer of buffers where a vehicle may not stand or park except to briefly load or unload passengers: in front of a driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet of the approach to a stop sign or traffic signal, within 20 feet of a fire station driveway, or within 75 feet of a fire station entrance on the opposite side of the street.

Sec. 94-35's fine chart sets most of these violations, including the Sec. 94-31 curb-distance rule and the Sec. 00, except a handicapped-zone violation under Sec. 00 fine; all fines are due within 72 hours at the city police department. Sec. 94-33(c) lets an officer ticket the driver directly or attach the citation to an unattended vehicle.
