Bills that have been signed into Florida State Law
Posted on Jul 7th, 2024

There are three bills that have been signed into Florida State law that will affect Summerfield directly. Bills 1203, 293 and 59. Here are some highlights:
 
 
1. As of July 1st, we can no longer issue parking violations for parking on the street. Regardless of what association documents say, we need to defer to State, County and Municipal parking regulations when it comes to street parking. Hillsborough County allows street parking, but only if there is a clearance of at least 10 feet for the flow of traffic. PLEASE NOTE: we can still issue other parking violations, such as parking on grass, etc.
2. As of July 1st, we can no longer issue violations for properly parked commercial vehicles. This excludes vehicles that require special fuel AND are 26,001lbs OR any vehicle that has (3) three axles, regardless of weight. Those types of vehicles are still prohibited from parking at Summerfield.
3. As of July 1st, we can no longer issue a violation for having your trash can out 24 hours before pick-up day and 24 hours after pick up-day. Outside of that time-frame, we can still issue violations for having a trash can out. Please also note that you can still get a violation for improperly storing your trash can.
