Because Key West is such a small place, with narrow streets, parking is a problem. So the city assesses fines for parking illegally.

Please NOTE: The residents of Key West have just as much trouble as the visitors do, and therefore in some areas there are spaces which are designated as RESIDENTAL. Not only is it selfish to park your car in one of those spaces for the entire length of your stay, but you will get a ticket.

Do NOT ignore the markings on these parking places (see photo) which are painted on the street and will fade in the hot Key West sun.

Parking Fines
Violations must be paid within 10 calendar days or an additional late charge of $5.00 will be assessed. After 20 days, an additional late charge of $5.00 will be assessed - total late fee of $10.00 per ticket. Parking violations will be considered delinquent after 30 days and sent to a collection agency.

OTH Vehicle parked on public right-of-way facing oncoming traffic $35.00
SID Vehicle parked on sidewalk on a public right-of-way $35.00
FIR Vehicle illegally parked near a fire hydrant (within 15 feet) $175.00
DES Failure to park vehicle within authorized parking space $35.00
