As part of Pasco County’s

 continuing efforts to maintain safe, attractive and well-maintained communities, you’re no longer allowed to park recreational or commercial vehicles on streets in Master Planned Unit Developments (MPUDs).  This expands on-street parking restrictions from residential neighborhoods to include larger, mixed-use communities.

“These changes to our Land Development Code address concerns about long-term parking and storage of these types of vehicles,” says Board of County Commissioners Chair Jack Mariano.  “The goal is to improve safety and visibility on neighborhood streets and make our communities more visually appealing.”

Under the new rules:

• You can’t park RVs, including boats, trailers, campers or jet skis, in any county right-of-way, including on-street parking spaces.
• You can’t park commercial vehicles in MPUDs, unless:
• Your business is legally doing business within the MPUD
• You park your commercial vehicle in an enclosed structure like a garage

To help everyone understand the new rules, Pasco will be sharing educational information on our website

 and social media platforms.  Information cards will also be placed on vehicles that are in violation of the new laws.

To give everyone time to comply with the new laws, warning notices and tickets with fines up to $500 per day will be issued after this educational period, which ends February 27, 2026.

These updates apply only to street parking; all existing rules for RV and boat parking on private property — including temporary allowances during disaster recovery — remain unchanged. To learn more about how these new rules could affect you and your community, please visit: mypas.co/Parking-Rules
