Meter Time Limits are the Maximum Time Allowed

Per Municode Sec. 11-6-34(a), a vehicle is unlawfully parked if it remains beyond the legal parking limit established for the limited parking zone. 

New License Plates

Do not forget to replace the old plate number with the new one in ParkMobile. This will prevent you from being ticketed because the license plates do not match (even though you may have paid the appropriate parking meter fee). 

There is no cost to register with us or to download one of our mobile apps. The transaction fees charged when you initiate a parking session are in addition to the regular parking fees in your area. Transaction fees vary based on which level of membership you choose, and are as follows:
