Have you ever gone to a friend’s house and there wasn’t any room to park in the driveway? There are many reasons why someone would park on the side of a road, but is it legal to park in front of someone’s house in Florida?

According to Florida Statute 316.1945 vehicles cannot park in front of a public or private driveway, but it is legal to park in front of someone’s home.

Stuart Police spokesperson Lt. Brian Bossio said people should be aware of their city and county ordinances. Depending on where you live, parking in certain areas, could result in a ticket or even getting your car towed.
