How do I get a disabled parking permit in Florida?
Apply at your county tax collector's office or a license plate agent with the state's application, certified by a medical, osteopathic or chiropractic physician, a podiatric physician, an optometrist, a physician assistant, or an advanced practice registered nurse working under a physician's protocol.
A permanent permit is free and good for up to 4 years, ending on your birthday. A temporary permit costs $15 and lasts as long as the disability the doctor states, up to 6 months.
Florida honors visitors' license plates and parking permits from other states that show the international symbol of accessibility. But once you are required to have a Florida driver license or a Florida vehicle registration, an out-of-state plate or permit is no longer valid here, so a new resident needs a Florida permit; the state's procedures let part-year residents keep using their home state's permit.
