Rural unincorporated Santa Rosa County has no residential on-street parking permit system. The Land Development Code requires developments to provide off-street parking and says parking areas must be designed to discourage right-of-way parking. Blocking traffic or a right-of-way can still be cited.
As a largely rural Florida county, Santa Rosa sets no county-wide residential on-street parking permit or time-limit scheme in the unincorporated area. Instead, LDC § 4.06.01 requires that off-street parking be provided and that 'no part of the vehicle shall overhang any pedestrian or bicycle way or path, public easement, public road or public right-of-way,' and that 'parking areas shall be designed to discourage right-of-way parking.' Parking that obstructs a roadway or right-of-way, or a derelict vehicle left on a public road, can be addressed under state traffic law (FS Ch. 316) and the county's abandoned-vehicle provisions. Inside Milton, Gulf Breeze, and Jay, the city sets on-street parking rules.
Vehicles obstructing a right-of-way may be cited or towed under FS Ch. 316; LDC parking-design violations are enforced by county Code Enforcement.
