Summary
Sunrise prohibits parking on city streets, alleys, and rights-of-way unless an ordinance allows it (Code Sec. 14-16(a)). The city adopts Florida's traffic parking rules (Fla. Stat. Ch. 316) and enforces citations through the Broward County Clerk.
No person shall park, allow to be parked or cause to be parked on the streets, alleys, rights-of-way or vacant property within the corporate boundaries of the city any motor vehicle, unless otherwise prescribed by ordinance.
Full Breakdown
Under City Code Sec. 14-16(a), no one may park on the streets, alleys, rights-of-way, or vacant property within the city unless otherwise permitted by ordinance, so casual on-street parking is restricted rather than a default right. Sec. 14-17 adopts Florida's Uniform Traffic Code (Fla. Stat. Ch. 316) parking regulations, including the 15-foot fire-hydrant clearance and no parking in crosswalks, intersections, or fire lanes. Citations are processed by the Broward County Clerk of Courts; a driver has 10 working days to pay or appeal to a traffic magistrate (Secs. 14-66, 14-68). Median-strip parking is banned entirely (Sec. 14-16(c)). HOA and CDD streets may add their own restrictions.
Violations & Fines
Parking on streets, alleys, or rights-of-way is $75; blocking a sidewalk or driveway, or parking within 15 feet of a hydrant, is $25; median parking is $50 (Sec. 14-69). A $5 school-crossing surcharge is added to each citation.
