Types of Permits

Monthly Permit

Monthly permits are to be used at a parking facility for one (1) month. Monthly permits are distributed at a monthly rate that varies as to the use and location of the permit. Monthly permits do not guarantee a parking spot. Availability is on a first come first serve basis and there is no reserved parking option.

Individuals with a monthly parking permit must adhere to the Abandoned Vehicle Law. No car may be parked for 72 consecutive hours or more. Your vehicle may not be left a parking facility longer than the posted time limit permits and must follow all parking facility rules pertaining to overnight parking and short/long-term spaces.
