Miramar residents with parked RV homes may face fines if ban passes

MIRAMAR, Fla. — Some Miramar residents who use recreational vehicles as parked homes are likely to face an initial $300 fine and a daily fine if a new ban passes.

To create more affordable housing and additional income, some residents in South Florida have been using RVs as rental properties.

Miramar Commissioner Yvette Colbourne was the first to propose a measure to add new parking restrictions on RVs in residential zones.

Mayor Wayne M. Messam, Vice Mayor Carson “Eddy” Edwards, and Commissioners Maxwell B. Chambers and Avril Cherasard have expressed support.

Miramar Police Chief Delrish Moss and his leadership focused on dozens of parked RVs.

The ordinance’s first reading passed on April 22. The second reading was on May 20. It was set to continue after the commission meets at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
