Jupiter Town Code § 19-27 lets the town manager designate temporary or permanent no-parking areas anywhere in town under state authority, and it is unlawful to stop, stand, or park in any area marked no parking once signs are installed; violators face the town's parking fine schedule and can appeal to the code enforcement magistrate.
(a)Pursuant to authority granted by F.S. § 316.008, the town manager or his designee may provide for temporary or permanent no parking areas within the town prohibiting parking within those areas which have been specified as no parking. The stopping, standing or parking of motor vehicles in these no parking areas is prohibited and declared unlawful.(b)The town manager or his designee shall cause appropriate signs in adequate number to be installed and maintained at such location to apprise the public of these restricted parking regulations.(c)Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be subject to the penalties in section 19-36.(d)An appeal of the penalty imposed by this section may be taken to the town's code enforcement magistrate. The appeal shall be filed with the clerk of the town's code enforcement division within ten days of the date on the citation.
Full Breakdown
008, allows the town manager or a designee to establish no-parking areas anywhere in Jupiter, whether temporary or permanent, without requiring town council action for each location. Once an area is specified as no parking, subsection (a) makes it unlawful and declares it a violation to stop, stand, or park a motor vehicle there. Subsection (b) requires the town manager to install and maintain an adequate number of appropriate signs at each restricted location so drivers are put on notice of the restriction. Violations are punished under the town's uniform parking-fine schedule in section 19-36: a $40 fine applies to parking violations generally, rising to a fine not exceeding $100 plus court costs if a person contests the citation before a hearing officer and loses.
Any person cited under section 19-27 may appeal to the town's code enforcement magistrate; the appeal must be filed with the clerk of the town's code enforcement division within ten days of the date on the citation. Because the ordinance lets the town manager add no-parking zones administratively, drivers should check posted signage rather than assume a street is open to parking just because it was previously unrestricted. The section traces to Ord. No. 52-01 (2001) and was last amended by Ord. No. 25-14 in 2014, which updated the appeal and penalty cross-references.
Violations & Fines
Parking in a posted no-parking area draws a $40 uniform parking fine under section 19-36, which can rise to as much as $100 plus court costs if contested and the violation is upheld. Appeals of a section 19-27 citation go to the town's code enforcement magistrate and must be filed with the clerk within ten days of the citation.
