How it works
Near Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park and along South Street, unofficial individuals wearing reflective vests collect "parking fees" from visitors who park in areas that are either free public lots or metered city spaces. They present no receipt and sometimes place unofficial-looking handwritten signs near meters. The fee collected — typically $10–20 cash — goes entirely to the individual and not to any city or state authority.
