On-street parking in St. Johns County is governed by county and municipal rules plus Florida traffic law, which bars parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant and on sidewalks or crosswalks. Historic St. Augustine adds tight metered and permit zones.
Florida's uniform traffic law, Fla. Stat. 316.1945, prohibits stopping, standing, or parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on a sidewalk, or on a crosswalk statewide, and St. Johns County and its cities enforce it. In unincorporated neighborhoods the county also bars blocking travel lanes, mailboxes, and driveways. The City of St. Augustine layers on metered parking, residential permit zones, and strict enforcement across its historic core, while St. Augustine Beach manages beach-access and seasonal congestion. Master-planned communities such as Nocatee and World Golf Village set their own street-parking rules through CDD and HOA regulation.
Parking too close to a hydrant, blocking a sidewalk, crosswalk, or driveway, or violating a posted zone brings a municipal or county citation and possible towing at the owner's expense.
