Since the 2024 reforms (HB 1203), your HOA cannot stop you or your guests from parking personal vehicles — including pickup trucks — in your own driveway or anywhere you have a legal right to park. That includes work vehicles that are not classified as commercial motor vehicles. First responders may also park their assigned vehicles on public roads within the community.
Florida's 2024 Homeowners' Association Bill of Rights (HB 1203) limited how far an HOA can go in regulating parking on your own property.
The protection covers personal and non-commercial work vehicles. Vehicles that are classified as commercial motor vehicles can still be regulated by your governing documents, so it is worth checking how your CC&Rs define a commercial vehicle.
The strongest protection applies to your own driveway and areas where you have a legal right to park. Streets and common areas may still be governed by your community's rules and local ordinances.
