Tallahassee blends two student bodies — Florida State and Florida A&M — with a state-government workforce, so its parking demand runs year-round, not just on the academic calendar. For apartment communities and lots juggling students, staff, and visitors, clean enforcement depends on Florida's exacting signage law.
What Florida law says about towing from private property
Under Florida Statute § 715.07, multi-unit properties must post compliant signage before towing:
- Signs at each driveway within 10 feet of the road, or one per 25 feet of lot frontage.
- 2-inch reflective letters on a contrasting background, with "tow-away zone" in 4-inch letters.
- Mounted 3 to 6 feet above ground, in place at least 24 hours before a tow.
- Listing the towing company's name and phone number.
How Tallahassee operators stay compliant and get paid
- Plate-level permits covering residents, staff, and guests in one system.
- Exportable records documenting authorization for every vehicle.
- QR-code signage that satisfies your notice obligation and collects guest payments.
