How many cars can you have?
 

Are there any rules regarding how many cars you can have parked in your driveway, or on the street in front of your house? I've noticed that at times there are certain houses where the driveway is full and cars are being parked on the street in front or across from them and its difficult to navigate around as they block one side of the street, two way traffic is impeded. I know this can happen when folks may be having a party or special event, but I have a neighbor that seems to have many vehicles on the street all the time. Curious if there are any rules regarding this??? Are you allowed to leave your cars parked on the street in front of your house?

I don't think there is a rule for county roads. But, for courtyard villas, there is a deed restriction that prohibits a homeowner from parking their vehicle on the street or in the visitor parking spaces at any time. Although, visitors can park on the street or in the visitor parking area.

Who enforces this?

Start with Community Standards

The Deed Compliance Office, which is part of the Community Standards Office listed on "districtgov.org". The Deed Compiance phone number is 352-751-3912, and they are located at Sumter Landing near the Starbucks.

Also depending on where you live there might be a city or county ordinance. We live in the confines of Wildwood where overnight street parking is prohibited.

Thanks!
Good to know.

i dont think many people would want 1,2,3 cars parked on the street 24-7.living next door to them. the streets are not that wide.

No one. Notice I didn’t end with question mark.:duck:

I'm not sure that statement is correct. I live in a courtyard villa. Adjacent to my villa is the "villa visitor parking" which is seldom used, so I parked my 2nd car there. I got a house visit from Community Watch who told me "no can do".
When I asked what was permissible, such as "Can I park on the street?", he replied, "Sure, that's county property".

I have a pretty wide driveway (corner lot) and I make-do parking it on one side.
But if push came to shove, I guess I'd be parking in the street. Check with Community Watch. Good luck.

PS - I am in unincorporated Sumter County.

Depends on which county and which district. In my district county don’t even pave roads and street continuous parking by resident not allowed. But I can guarantee you nobody enforcing it. My villa don’t have visitor parking. That would not allowed 2 more houses to be crammed in.

Happens all the time if you are unfortunate enough to live in a neighborhood with short term rentals.

Prayer groups

Have you read your deed restriction document? Mine specifically prohibits a homeowner from parking on the street. Obviously, some courtyard villas may have different requirements.

Wildwood - No Street Parking Ever
 

Parking on the street is not allowed at any time in the villages that fall within the City of Wildwood. This is enforced by Wildwood Police. Service vehicles are an exception.
