Tallahassee regulates street parking with time limits in some areas, particularly near downtown and university campuses. Vehicles may not park on residential streets for extended periods. Special event parking restrictions apply during FSU and FAMU events.
The city enforces street parking regulations through Code Enforcement and parking services. Vehicles parked on residential streets for extended periods may be cited. Downtown Tallahassee has metered and time-limited parking. Near FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium and FAMU, gameday parking restrictions are enforced. Parking is prohibited within 15 feet of fire hydrants, in fire lanes, and blocking sidewalks or driveways.
Parking violations carry fines of $35–$75 per citation. Abandoned vehicles are towed at the owner's expense ($150–$400 plus daily storage fees). Blocking fire lanes carries fines of $250+.
