Franklin County Code § 12-13 prohibits parking or leaving unattended any motor vehicle, camper, water vessel or trailer on a public street or other public property of Franklin County in an area the county has posted with No Parking signage. The County Coordinator posts the signage after consultation with, and approval by, the Board of County Commissioners; the placement, adequacy or number of signs does not affect the validity of the prohibition or any enforcement action. 08, punishable by a $108 fine; a second violation, or any violation that causes or contributes to injury to a person or property, is a second-degree misdemeanor enforced under Florida's criminal traffic offense procedures, still carrying a $108 fine, and the penalties are cumulative.

Beyond the fine, any vehicle, camper, water vessel or trailer left in a posted no-parking area may be towed and stored at the owner's expense, and the owner must pay all reasonable towing and storage charges before recovering it. The Board of County Commissioners may also authorize vehicle immobilization devices, deployed by the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, with a reasonable refundable deposit required from the public. Any duly sworn law enforcement officer, including the Sheriff, may enforce the section. The current version was adopted by Ordinance No. 05-44 in 2005 and amended by Ordinance No. 2024-05 in July 2024.
