Orlando currently operates more than 9,000 off-street and approximately 1,200 paid on-street parking spaces. This causes an imbalance in supply which we are seeking to correct through changes in overall parking regulations, citations and rates.
As part of our efforts to improve curb access and turnover, give drivers more flexibility and provide cost-effective parking options, the next phase of this project will launch on October 1, 2026.
NOTE: Effective October 1, there will be an adjustment to citation fees and parking rates. All other changes will gradually implement throughout Q4 2026. All other changes and enforcement will be denoted with new signage at the affected locations providing clear direction on the new regulations and pay rates for that specific area or garage/lot.
The following will be the new parking regulations:
On-street parking:
- New enforcement hours will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday
- Parking will remain free 8 p.m to 8 a.m., on Sundays and on city-observed holidays
- In Q4, some parking durations will be increased up to four to six hours, depending on location
- Increased citation fees, while extending the late payment period from 14 days to 21 days
- Parking rates will update immediately:
- 1st and 2nd hours = $1 increase
- 3rd hour (where applicable) = $2 increase
- Progressive parking rates will be introduced
