Disabled Parking Permits allow individuals with qualifying disabilities to park in designated accessible parking spaces throughout Florida. These permits help ensure convenient parking access for individuals with mobility impairments or other qualifying medical conditions.
The Hendry County Tax Collector’s Office issues both temporary and permanent disabled parking permits for Florida residents who meet the eligibility requirements established by Florida law. Permits must be supported by a certification from a licensed medical professional.
