Section 316.1951 Parking for certain purposes prohibited.

(a) It is unlawful for any person to park a motor vehicle, as defined in s. 320.01, for a continuous period in excess of 24 hours, after written notice, upon a public street or highway, upon a public parking lot, or other public property, or upon private property where the public has the right to travel by motor vehicle, for the principal purpose and intent of displaying the motor vehicle thereon for sale, hire, or rental unless the sale, hire, or rental of the motor vehicle is specifically authorized on such property by municipal or county regulation and the person is duly licensed as a motor vehicle dealer in accordance with s. 320.27, F.S., and the person is in compliance with all municipal or county licensing regulations.

(b) The provisions of subsection (a) do not prohibit a person from parking his own motor vehicle or his other personal property on any private real property which he owns or leases or on private real property which he does not own or lease, but for which he obtains the permission of the owner, or on the public street immediately adjacent thereto, for the principal purpose and intent of sale, hire, or rental.

(c) The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shall adopt by rule a uniform written notice to be used to enforce this section. Each law enforcement agency in this state shall provide, at each agency’s expense, the notice forms necessary to enforce this section.

(d) A law enforcement officer may cause to be removed at the owner’s expense any motor vehicle found upon a public street, public parking lot, other public property, or private property, where the public has the right to travel by motor vehicle, which is in violation of subsection (a). Every written notice issued pursuant to this section shall be affixed in a conspicuous place upon a vehicle by a law enforcement officer.

(e) Any other provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding, a violation of subsection (a) shall subject the owner of such motor vehicle to towing fees reasonably necessitated by removal and storage of the motor vehicle.

(f) This section does not prohibit the governing body of a municipality or county, with respect to streets, highways, or other property under its jurisdiction, from regulating the parking of motor vehicles for any purpose.
