PREPARED FOR BOARD USE — ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED BEFORE USE This packet is a working template built from the current Florida Condominium Act (Chapter 718, Florida Statutes) and related statutes as of September 2026. It is not a substitute for legal advice. Before adopting or sending anything in this packet, the board should have Association counsel: (1) confirm it does not conflict with this condominium’s Declaration, Articles, and Bylaws; (2) confirm current statutory figures and deadlines; and (3) tailor bracketed terms to this community.

What’s in this packet

• Section A — 14-day Board Meeting Notice for a rule amendment, plus Affidavit of Notice

2. Send Section B to counsel for review against the Declaration and Bylaws before it goes to the board for a vote.
3. Use Section A to notice the board meeting at which the amendment will be considered and voted on.
4. Once the rule is adopted, use Sections C through F in sequence for any owner who is not in compliance: courtesy notice first, then the statutory violation notice, then (if unresolved) the fining hearing.
5. Use Section F only after confirming compliant signage is posted, or after personal notice to the vehicle’s owner, consistent with section 715.07, Florida Statutes.
6. Use Section G whenever a request references a disability or medical need, and route it to counsel before any denial.

Section B — Parking Rule Amendment

Before adoption: Confirm this amendment does not conflict with the Declaration of Condominium (which controls if there is a conflict), confirm the board’s rulemaking authority and any owner-vote requirement under the Bylaws, and have counsel confirm the dollar figures and procedures below are current.

RULES AND REGULATIONS OF

[ASSOCIATION NAME] CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.

AMENDMENT — ARTICLE [__]: VEHICLES AND PARKING

Adopted pursuant to Article [__] of the Bylaws and the Board’s authority to adopt reasonable rules under the Declaration of Condominium and § 718.303(1), Florida Statutes. Nothing in this amendment alters any owner’s appurtenant parking rights under the Declaration; it governs how those rights are exercised.

1. Definitions

• “Vehicle” means any automobile, motorcycle, truck, van, motor scooter, or similar motorized conveyance.
• “Oversized Vehicle” means any vehicle, including a pickup truck with an extended or oversized bed, that cannot be parked entirely within the painted boundary lines of a single standard parking space without any portion — including the bed, bumper, mirrors, or any attachment — extending into a drive aisle, walkway, landscaped area, fire lane, or adjacent space.
• “Motorcycle” means a motorcycle, moped, or motor scooter required to be titled and registered under Chapter 320, Florida Statutes.
• “Micromobility Device” means an electric bicycle (as classified under § 316.20065, Fla. Stat.), electric scooter, hoverboard, or similar device powered in whole or part by a lithium-ion or similar battery.
• “Assigned Space” means the parking space(s), if any, designated as a limited common element appurtenant to a specific unit under the Declaration.
• “Guest Space” means a space designated by the Association for the temporary use of guests and invitees, not for routine or overnight use by residents.

2. General Requirements

1. Each unit is allocated the number of parking space(s) specified in the Declaration. No unit owner, tenant, guest, or invitee may park more vehicles on Association property than the number of spaces allocated to that unit, except in a Guest Space with prior authorization as provided in Section 5 below.
2. Every vehicle must be parked entirely within the painted lines of a single space. No vehicle may extend into a drive aisle, fire lane, landscaped area, walkway, or another owner’s space.
3. Vehicles must be operable, currently registered, and parked head-in/back-in as posted. Article [_ _] addresses commercial signage, on-property repairs, and leaking fluids.

3. Oversized Vehicles and Pickup Trucks

1. A pickup truck or other vehicle with a bed, rack, trailer hitch, or accessory that extends beyond the painted lines of its assigned or guest space is an Oversized Vehicle and may not be parked on Association property in that condition.
2. An owner who wishes to park an Oversized Vehicle must first request an available additional or end space suited to the vehicle’s dimensions, or a designated oversized-vehicle area if one is established by the Board, through the Association manager.
3. Nothing in this Section requires the Association to create a space for a particular vehicle’s dimensions, and nothing in this Section requires an owner to lease or rent an additional space as a condition of otherwise complying with this Article.
4. An Oversized Vehicle that cannot be parked in compliance with this Article may not be stored on Association property and is subject to Section 7 (Enforcement) below.

4. Motorcycles

1. A motorcycle may be parked within an owner’s Assigned Space, provided it is parked entirely within the painted lines.
2. Two motorcycles may share a single standard space only if both are parked entirely within the painted lines of that space and both belong to residents or guests of the same unit, unless the Board designates a shared or dedicated motorcycle parking area.
3. Motorcycles may not be parked, stored, started, or worked on in stairwells, corridors, lobbies, breezeways, balconies, or any other common element not designated for vehicle parking.

5. Electric Bicycles and Other Micromobility Devices

1. Micromobility Devices must be parked or stored only in the bicycle racks, lockers, or other areas the Board designates for that purpose, and may not be left in stairwells, corridors, elevator lobbies, or other means of egress.
2. Charging of a Micromobility Device is permitted only in a designated, ventilated charging area, using the manufacturer-supplied or manufacturer-approved charger. Charging in a unit, on a balcony, or in any common area not designated for charging is prohibited unless expressly permitted by the unit owner’s own insurance and applicable fire code and is at all times at the owner’s sole risk and expense.
3. The Association may require an owner to remove a damaged, aftermarket, or non-certified battery from Association property upon notice of a safety concern.
4. This Section does not apply to a wheelchair or other mobility device used as an assistive device by a person with a disability; requests involving such devices are handled under Section 6 (Reasonable Accommodation) below.

6. Additional or Excess Vehicles

1. A vehicle in excess of a unit’s allocated number of spaces may not be parked on Association property on a routine or overnight basis, including in a Guest Space, without the prior written consent of the Board or manager.
2. An owner with an excess vehicle may request: (a) available additional space, if any, on whatever rental or purchase terms the Declaration and Board make generally available; (b) temporary use of a Guest Space, subject to the Association’s guest-parking procedure; or (c) off-site parking arranged by the owner.
3. An owner’s declination to rent or purchase an additional space does not entitle the owner to park an excess vehicle in non-compliance with this Article and does not itself expand the number of spaces allocated to that unit under the Declaration.

7. Reasonable Accommodation

The Association will consider requests for reasonable accommodation in this Article’s rules, policies, or practices when necessary to afford a person with a disability equal use and enjoyment of the property, consistent with the Fair Housing Act and § 760.23, Florida Statutes. Submit requests on the form in Section G of the Association’s parking enforcement procedures, or in writing to the manager. The Association Council will review all requests before denial.

8. Enforcement

1. A violation of this Article may be enforced by a fine under § 718.303(3), Florida Statutes, after 14 days’ written notice and an opportunity for a hearing before an independent fining committee, as set out in the Association’s fining procedure.
2. A violation of this Article does not authorize suspension of an owner’s right to use an assigned or otherwise designated parking space, which § 718.303(3)(a), Florida Statutes, excludes from the Association’s suspension authority.
3. A vehicle parked in violation of this Article, in a fire lane, or without authorization on Association property may be towed in accordance with § 715.07, Florida Statutes, and the towing procedure adopted by the Board.

9. Effective Date

This Article takes effect [__] days after adoption by the Board, or on [specific date], whichever is later, and supersedes any prior parking rule to the extent of any conflict.

Certificate of Adoption

The undersigned certify that the foregoing Article was adopted by the Board of Directors of [Association Name] Condominium Association, Inc., at a duly noticed meeting held on [date], by a vote of ____ in favor and ____ opposed, with ____ abstaining, a quorum being present throughout.

Section C — Courtesy Compliance Notice

Recommended, not required. This is an informal first step, not the statutory 14-day fine notice. Sending it first, and keeping a copy, helps show the Association’s enforcement is consistent and not arbitrary before any fine is considered.

Section D — Statutory Notice of Violation and Opportunity for Hearing
