On Hollywood Beach, where street and public parking are limited, how a condo's parking space is held matters. A deeded space is conveyed by deed and transfers with your title. An assigned space is allocated by the declaration or the board and may be reassigned under the association's rules. A limited common element space is reserved for your unit under the declaration. Don't rely on the listing — check the deed, the declaration and the association's parking records before closing.
Three ways parking is usually held
- Deeded or separately titled: the conveyance must identify the recorded property interest by legal description, deed or incorporated recorded documents; a space number in a listing does not establish title.
- Limited common element: exclusive use is attached or assigned to a unit under the declaration and applicable recorded amendments; it is not necessarily a separately saleable parcel.
- Assigned or licensed: permission follows the association’s governing documents and assignment/license terms, which may limit transfer or allow reassignment.
§718.106(2), Fla. Stat. addresses unit appurtenances, including exclusive use of applicable LCEs. Have a title professional reconcile the deed, declaration, amendments and assignment instrument in Broward County land records; neither a tax folio nor possession alone proves transferable parking rights.
How to verify what comes with the unit
- Search the property and any separate parking folio on the Broward County Property Appraiser.
- Check recorded documents through Broward County Records.
- Read the declaration's parking section and any amendments.
- Ask the association for its written parking assignment for the unit.
- Ask your title company to confirm it on the commitment.
Practical differences for owners
Covered vs open, tandem spaces, garage clearance, guest parking, EV charging rules and whether spaces can be rented or sold to other owners all vary by building. During garage restoration, owners may have to park elsewhere — ask how that is handled.

Parking and value
Do not attach a dollar premium to the word “deeded.” Verify the legal right, restrictions and practical usability first, then compare documented same-building sales with similar parking rights.
