Summary

Sec. 58-13 of the Hialeah Code makes it unlawful to park a motor vehicle, trailer, RV, moped, bus or vessel on a sidewalk, curb, a raised landscaped swale next to a sidewalk, or in a spot that blocks or impedes access to a driveway.

Unlawful acts. It shall be unlawful for any person having ownership, possession or use of a motor vehicle, tractor, trailer, truck, van, recreational vehicle, motorcycle, moped, bus or vessel as defined by state law to park on a sidewalk, curb, raised landscaped swale area adjacent to a sidewalk or in front of, blocking or otherwise impeding access to, a driveway.

Full Breakdown

,' targets a specific set of on-street and adjacent-to-street locations rather than general curbside parking citywide. The prohibited conduct covers any person having ownership, possession or use of a motor vehicle, tractor, trailer, truck, van, recreational vehicle, motorcycle, moped, bus or vessel who parks it on a sidewalk, on a curb, on a raised landscaped swale area adjacent to a sidewalk, or in front of, blocking or otherwise impeding access to a driveway. The section reaches beyond ordinary cars to trailers, buses and even vessels, reflecting Hialeah's broader Chapter 58 pattern of regulating vehicle and vessel storage on public rights-of-way alongside the separate sale-and-display rules in Sec.

58-9 and the abandoned-vehicle rules in Sec. 58-7 and 58-8. Sec. 58-13 traces to Ord. No. 2005-58, adopted June 28, 2005. It sets no dedicated fine, so an offense defaults to the Code's general civil-infraction penalty in Sec. 00 per violation, with each day the vehicle remains parked in violation counted as a separate offense, enforced through the code-inspector citation and special-master hearing process in chapter 22.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a sidewalk, curb, raised landscaped swale, or in a spot blocking a driveway is a civil infraction under Sec. 1-11 because Sec. 58-13 carries no specific fine: up to $500.00 per violation, with each day the vehicle remains illegally parked treated as a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my car in front of my neighbor's driveway in Hialeah?
No. Sec. 58-13 makes it unlawful to park in front of, block, or otherwise impede access to any driveway, regardless of whose driveway it is, and enforcement is not limited to blocking your own access.
Is parking on the grassy swale next to the sidewalk allowed?
No. Sec. 58-13 specifically bars parking on a raised landscaped swale area adjacent to a sidewalk, in addition to banning parking directly on the sidewalk or curb itself.
What is the fine for illegal sidewalk or curb parking in Hialeah?
Sec. 58-13 sets no specific fine, so the general civil-infraction penalty in Sec. 1-11 applies: up to $500.00 per violation, with each day the vehicle remains parked illegally counted as a separate offense.
