The Miami-Dade County of the Tax Collector’s Office will provide the permit, which are valid for up to one year and cost $15, to expectant mothers in South Florida.

With the permit, expectant mothers will be allowed to park in designated disable parking spaces.

Permits can be requested through a Florida licensed physician and once they care completed can be submitted to any Miami-Dade County Tax Collector’s Office or authorized license plate agency.

A similar ordinance was passed in Miami-Dade County in May. Ordinance 25-45 allows for expanded stroller friendly parking spaces throughout Miami-Dade County.
