Full Breakdown
Section 72.02 sets Weston's default parking rule: a vehicle has to sit inside a marked, striped parking space on any public street, right-of-way, or public or private property, or it is unlawful. The Section carves out four exceptions: land that is zoned residential and its adjacent right-of-way, property actually occupied by a single-family residence, public schools, and municipal facilities, plus any vehicle authorized to be doing construction, maintenance, or inspection work on roads or landscaping. That exception is what lets residents park in the swale along their own street in the first place, and Section 72.04(B) sets the rules for it: a vehicle on the swale within the public right-of-way must face the same direction as travel on that street, cannot block access to a driveway, and cannot sit on or across a sidewalk or over a stormwater catch basin.
Enforcement runs through Section 72.90: an Enforcement Officer or parking enforcement specialist who finds a vehicle parked in violation of Chapter 72 issues a citation, affixes it to the vehicle, and gives the registered owner ten business days, excluding weekends and holidays, to pay the fine at the location the citation lists.
Violations & Fines
Section 72.99 sets the fine for a street or swale parking violation at $105.00, which includes a $5.00 school-crossing-guard surcharge. An unpaid citation draws a $12.00 late fee after ten business days under Section 72.90(B), and continued nonpayment triggers a notice from the Broward County Clerk of Courts under Section 72.91. A cited driver can appeal in writing to the Clerk of Courts within ten working days under Section 72.92(A).
