Updated Parking Regulations

Effective February 1, 2026

The City of Boynton Beach has adopted updates to its parking regulations (Chapter 14, Section 14-5, Ordinance 25-018) to enhance public safety, improve traffic flow, and maintain neighborhood tranquility.

Under the updated ordinance, vehicles may be parked only in driveways and driveway aprons when sidewalks remain unobstructed. Parking in yards, swales, or along residential streets is no longer permitted.

Limited exceptions allow temporary parking during open houses, social events, or short-term maintenance or construction activities, provided parking does not obstruct traffic and does not exceed twelve hours within a 24-hour period. These updates provide clearer guidance for residents while supporting safer, more orderly streets citywide.

For exemptions and full details, visit the City’s website: boyntonbeach.org/368/Code-Enforcement

The planning process for the City’s Public Art Master Plan is progressing. A series of outreach meetings were held between October and December with City staff, small businesses, the art community, the Art Advisory Board, and residents to gather input and shape priorities for the plan. Staff is now compiling this feedback into actionable recommendations for the draft plan

Traffic Control Box Public Art Program

Boynton Beach is advancing creative placemaking through its Traffic Control Box Public Art Program, transforming everyday infrastructure into engaging public art.

On December 10, 2025, the Art Advisory Board selected 24 local artists to design wraps for 35 traffic control boxes at key intersections citywide. Centered on themes such as We Are Boynton, Abstract Tropical Nature, and Bright Beach Vibes, the program enhances the public realm, elevates local artists, and reinforces the City’s visual identity.

Installation timelines and additional updates will be shared as the project progresses

Comprehensive Plan Update Outreach

Public outreach for the City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan update was conducted on October 20 and November 13, 2025. The update includes revisions to all Comprehensive Plan elements, including the development of a new Economic Development element

Engagement activities included public workshops, an ongoing citywide survey to capture additional input, and targeted outreach through an informational booth at Pirate Fest, providing multiple opportunities for continued community participation in the planning process.
