Florida lets counties regulate vacation-rental parking as long as the rule applies uniformly to all residential properties. Lake County's Land Development Regulations and county traffic/parking rules govern; guests must use on-site or lawful street parking, not yards or blocked rights-of-way.
The state STR preemption (FS 509.032(7)) does not stop Lake County from enforcing neutral parking and property-maintenance standards, provided they apply to all homes equally, not just rentals. In unincorporated Lake County, off-street parking, driveway, and right-of-way rules come from the Land Development Regulations and county code — vehicles generally must park on an improved surface, not on lawns, and must not block sidewalks, fire access, or the traveled roadway. Overnight and on-street parking limits, where they exist, apply the same to owners and guests.
Illegally parked or blocking vehicles can be cited or towed under county code and Florida traffic law; repeat property-maintenance parking violations draw code-enforcement fines.
