Full Breakdown
02(f) states plainly that no skateboarding, in-line skating, or any other form of recreational activity is permitted in County and school parking garages or surface lots. 02's general rules for County-owned or leased parking garages and surface lots and school-owned lots used for public school purposes, alongside bans on commercial activity, abandoned vehicles, and vehicles occupying more than one space. 01, confirms it reaches every County-owned or leased garage and surface lot and every School Board parking area used for public school purposes: separate from the general public-street conduct rules in Chapter 480 and from park and recreation-area rules codified in Chapter 1092.
02(b). 04, which the Sheriff or a designee carries out, attaching notices to vehicles or citing individuals found skateboarding or skating in a covered lot. Because the ban is scoped to garages and surface lots rather than sidewalks or streets generally, it does not reach skateboarding on public sidewalks or in shopping-center parking areas that are privately owned, which fall outside this chapter's application clause.
Violations & Fines
Violations of § 482.02, including the skateboarding and in-line skating ban in subsection (f), are civil penalties under § 482.99(b): fifty dollars ($50.00) for most violations of the chapter, the penalty section groups skateboarding with restricted-zone parking, meter-equipment destruction, and occupying more than one space at the same $50 rate, payable to the County Treasurer before a warrant issues.
