NEW PORT RICHEY – Pasco County no longer allows parking of recreational or commercial vehicles on streets in master planned unit developments.
The change expands on-street parking restrictions from residential neighborhoods to include larger, mixed-use communities.
“These changes to our Land Development Code address concerns about long-term parking and storage of these types of vehicles,” said Jack Mariano, chairman of the board of county commissioners. “The goal is to improve safety and visibility on neighborhood streets and make our communities more visually appealing.”
Under the new rules:
- You can’t park RVs, including boats, trailers, campers or jet skis, in any county right-of-way, including on-street parking spaces.
- You can’t park commercial vehicles in master planned unit developments, unless your company is legally doing business within the development or you park your commercial vehicle in an enclosed structure such as a garage.
Pasco County will share educational information on pascocountyfl.gov and social media platforms to help people understand the new rules. Information cards will also be placed on vehicles that are in violation of the new laws.
Warning notices and tickets with fines up to $500 per day will be issued after this educational period, which ends Feb. 27.
These updates apply only to street parking. All existing rules for RV and boat parking on private property, including temporary allowances during disaster recovery, remain unchanged.
