Homestead regulates street parking through its traffic code and city ordinances. Downtown Homestead near Krome Avenue has time-limited and potentially metered parking to support local businesses. Residential streets generally allow on-street parking, but vehicles must not block sidewalks, driveways, fire hydrants (must be at least 15 feet from a hydrant), or intersections. Vehicles cannot park against the flow of traffic. Street parking is subject to the city's abandoned vehicle ordinance — vehicles left in the same spot for extended periods without moving may be tagged and eventually towed. During hurricane evacuations, street parking may be restricted to facilitate emergency vehicle access. Parking within 30 feet of a stop sign or traffic signal is prohibited. The police department handles street parking enforcement, and vehicles in violation may receive citations or be towed.
Street parking violations carry fines of $25 to $100 per ticket. Blocking fire hydrants or driveways results in towing at the owner's expense. Contact Homestead PD at (305) 247-1535.
