Who can receive a parking permit?
A Florida Parking Permit may be issued to any individual with disabilities that limit or impair the person’s ability to walk or someone who is certified as legally blind. Click here for a complete list of disabilities and an application for a disabled parking permit.

The Permanent Parking Permit Placard is issued to an individual for a period of up to four years from the date of issuance and expires on the applicant’s birthday. Renewals thereafter will be for the full four years. An additional placard may be issued to a disabled person who qualifies as a frequent traveler or as a quadriplegic. There is no fee for a permanent parking permit. A Florida driver license or ID card is required. |

The Temporary Parking Permit Placard is issued for a period not exceeding 6 months. The cost of a temporary permit is $15.00. If necessary, a second temporary permit may be issued when the first permit expires with another application form completed by the physician. If done within a twelve-month period from the date the first permit was issued, the second permit may be issued for no fee. A Florida driver license or ID card is required.
Note: Placards are issued to the person designated and are not interchangeable between spouses or anyone else. Parking Permits issued to organizations will be issued for four years and expire June 30. Additional placards for organizations are issued depending on the number of vehicles owned.

How should the parking permits be displayed?
The permit must be hung on the rear view mirror of any vehicle used to transport the disabled person(s). The permit number must be visible from the front of the vehicle.
Both sides of the placard have month and year decals indicating the expiration. The placard number is printed on both of the printed decals near the indicated expiration as well as the Florida driver license or identification card number. (Your Florida driver license or identification card is required when permit is in use.) Hang the permit on the rearview mirror of your vehicle when parking in a disabled person parking space. It is recommended that you remove the permit from the rearview mirror when vehicle is in use.
