Florida's Disabled Parking Placard for Handicapped Persons
The Florida Legislature has provided that motorists and others with permanent disabilities may apply for a parking permit placard. Temporary permits are available to persons with temporary mobility problems or vision impairment.
- Both Permanent (no fee) and Temporary Disability ($15.00) parking permits are available at all of our Tax Collector offices. The fee is assessed when issued or renewed.
- Applications must be made on Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle Forms HSMV form 83039 which requires a physician's statement of permanent or temporary disability and a Florida driver's license or Florida identification card issued by the Driver's License Bureau.
- You may bring the completed application and payment to any of our offices, or you may also mail them to us. Your application will be processed and the placard mailed to you within ten days.
- The permanent placard is valid for 4 years and expires on your birth date. If your disability is temporary you may receive a placard for up to one year.
- Individuals who have a Disabled Veterans license plate, a Wheelchair Symbol Suffix plate, or a Paralyzed Veterans of America plate are not required to purchase a Disabled Person's Parking Permit in order to park in a handicapped parking space.
We encourage you to visit the Seminole County Disability Advisory Council for more information concerning the disabled community.
