HCSO Parking Laws
Posted on Jan 24th, 2020
Recently the Association’s Manager met with Deputy Nixon, Community Resource Officer for District IV, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) regarding parking on Hillsborough County roads. He provided
this flyer and added that the Sheriff’s Department is the only agency that can enforce the parking laws. Deputy Nixon highlighted common infractions observed within the District:
- You cannot park a vehicle within 10 feet of another vehicle, which would impede traffic flow on the roadway (must have room for emergency vehicle to get through);
- You cannot park a vehicle against the flow of traffic;
- You cannot park more than 12” from a curb or edge of road/grass;
- You cannot park a vehicle so as to block a sidewalk.
Please refer to page 2 of the flyer for a complete list of citable infractions. If you observe these infractions in your neighborhood, please call Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department, District IV at (813) 247-8200 to report them.
