Private Parking — 15-Day Dispute Right Under §715.075
Florida Statute §715.075 (significantly strengthened in 2024–2025) gives a vehicle owner the right to dispute a private parking facility invoice within 15 days of receipt. The lot owner/operator must render a decision within 5 business days; if denied, the consumer has 10 additional days to request escalation. The statute also caps fees, prohibits late charges until 15 days after appeal denial, and requires conspicuous signage with rate, time-limit, and contact info posted at every entrance.
