Accessible Parking Sign Requirements in Florida
A Florida accessible parking sign has to be above grade, correctly worded and high enough to stay visible. Florida Statute 553.5041, subsection (6), requires a permanent above-grade sign placed on or at least 60 inches above the finished floor or ground surface, measured to the bottom of the sign.
The sign must carry the International Symbol of Accessibility and the caption “PARKING BY DISABLED PERMIT ONLY.” A sign erected after October 1, 1996 must also indicate the penalty for illegal use of the space. We install signs that carry that notice and never quote the amount.
The 2010 ADA Standards add a federal layer in Section 502.6: signs identifying van spaces must read “van accessible,” and the 60-inch minimum height applies. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design have the full text.
Why a Missing Sign Makes a Space Hard to Enforce
A blue space with no sign is one the property owner cannot rely on. Florida Statute 316.1955, subsection (1), says only a warning may be issued for unlawfully parking in an accessible space if there is no above-grade sign as provided in s. 553.5041.
Paint disappears under a parked car; the sign stays visible above it, which is why a sign check belongs on every restriping job.
Fire Lane Signs in the City of Orlando
Inside the City of Orlando, fire lane signs need the fire official’s approval. City of Orlando Code Chapter 24, Section 24.30, puts the posting duty on the property owner: signs approved by the authority having jurisdiction, made with reflective backing, and conforming to the MUTCD as adopted by the City of Orlando Transportation Engineer. Posting an unapproved sign, or leaving one up, is unlawful.
We install the sign the fire official approves, in the place the approval shows. Outside the City of Orlando, ask the fire code official covering your address first.
How Parking Lot Sign Installation Works
The steps, in order:
- List every space and lane that needs a sign. We note each accessible space, van space and fire lane.
- Confirm the wording. Accessible signs follow the statute; fire lane signs follow the fire official’s approval.
- Set the location and height. Signs go where a parked vehicle cannot hide them.
- Mount the sign. We install new posts or replace panels on posts already in place.
- Check against the striping. Signs should line up with the blue outline and the access aisle.
If your paving contractor is repairing potholes or sealcoating, we schedule the signs after that work so posts are not set into pavement that is about to change. Once you know roughly how many spaces and lanes need signs, call (321) 234-3110 and we will put together a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parking Lot Sign Installation in Orlando South, FL
How high do accessible parking signs have to be mounted in Florida?
Florida Statute 553.5041(6) calls for a permanent above-grade sign placed on or at least 60 inches above the finished ground surface, measured to the bottom of the sign. The 2010 ADA Standards, Section 502.6, set the same 60-inch minimum. We mount every sign so its bottom edge meets that height and a parked vehicle cannot hide it.
What does a Florida accessible parking sign have to say?
It must bear the International Symbol of Accessibility and the caption “PARKING BY DISABLED PERMIT ONLY.” A sign erected after October 1, 1996 must also indicate the penalty for illegal use of the space. Federal rules add that signs for van spaces must read “van accessible.” We install signs that carry the required notice, and we do not quote any amount.
What happens if my accessible space has no sign?
Under Florida Statute 316.1955(1), only a warning may be issued for unlawfully parking in an accessible space if there is no above-grade sign as provided in s. 553.5041. Paint by itself will not support a citation here, and a missing sign weakens enforcement of the space, so we check every sign during each restriping job.
Do I need approval before installing a fire lane sign in Orlando?
Yes. City of Orlando Code Chapter 24, Section 24.30, says it is unlawful to erect or post a fire lane sign without approval from the authority having jurisdiction, or to leave an unapproved sign up. We install the sign the fire official approves, in the location the approval shows, and we do not post fire lane signs on a guess.
Can you install parking lot signs after my lot is repaved or sealcoated?
Yes, and that is a sensible order of work. After your paving or sealcoating contractor finishes and has repaired potholes and cracks, we set or replace the signs, then check them against the new striping so the posts, the blue outline and the access aisles all agree.
