Parking a car for extended time of a month
 
we have a courtyard villa and for the next month we have a visitor, and it does not work out with a visitor parking his car at our villa, our neighborhood does not have visitor parking, we have considered going to another villa neighborhood that has visitor parking and parking his car there, are there any restrictions about that? I have seen complaints about car setting for years in different areas with expired license plates in the Villages is not doing anything about it.. these plates obviously are current.
We have also considered parking his car on the street at Lake Sumter, Spanish Springs, or Brownwood, all of these are public streets, and there is no restricted parking signs that I can find.
I have also considered going down to Brownwood and parking it in the hospital parking lot.
I do not know if there are any restrictions about any of these areas, however, there is a difference between restrictions and the enforcement of those restrictions. I’m just looking for ideas.
We had a car parked at our local mailbox area for almost 9 months and then was moved, I realize these are private property, but does the villages really enforce anything along this line?

Maybe contact the Villages for suggestions for the squares, etc?

Will the car be used during the month of the visit?

In CYVs parking all over the place, park it in yard, on street and end of street. Some have bricked in their yard to make parking lot. Some have painted driveways and refuse to park in their driveway. Some have three cars two golf carts and can only get one golf cart in garage. Rules? Not to worry. :highfive:

no it will not be moved, as long as it is not abandoned with current license plate, I am of the assumption that it could be parked on a public street, but I just wanna make sure

279$ a month outside! no thanks,,, parking it on the street does not inconvenience anyone we all pay taxes for those streets, and those parking spots. If there are no restrictions there it seems that it would be legal. I’m just asking for anyone else’s experiences doing this but thank you for your guidance

My regional rec center allows parking if you fill out a permit-name of owner, license plate, make of vehicle, etc. At Everglades, they have RV's, moving vans, etc park over by the postal station, not up by the Rec center. There may be time limit and they have a limited number of permits available; once, during spring break time, they were all out of permits, and I asked if anyone would be climbing onto the hood of the F350 to see what the permit said, and they said, no. You could always move it to another rec center if it exceeded the time limit. If its just a nondescript passenger car, likely wouldn't catch anyone's attention.

thank you for the reply, this is what I was looking for sometimes definitely a difference between restrictions and enforcement, Thing that concerns me someone sees if they are continuously at 2 o’clock in the morning and report it then I would want to be on the record of doing things above board. Once again, thank you very much.

We had to do this last year and found someone on our Village FB group to let us store our car at in their garage for $100 for a month. Was very easy and they gave us the garage opener code to retrieve our car at the end of the month.

Town Squares restrict parking in some areas during special events. Maybe park the car in the large areas located behind the shopping area.

you can go to the nearest rec center and get a permit to park there, but for how long, I don't know. The permit must be placed in the windshield, so community watch doesn't have the car towed.

I hear Walmart allows people to use their parking lot all day and night for free.
