The permit will allow you to park for free parking seven days a week, between the hours of 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. in the designated areas. (Please note, the city does not charge for parking until 12 p.m. daily). Permit holders must abide by posted hourly time limits. Regular time limits and rates will apply starting at 6 pm.

Keep in mind...
- For garage parking: If you are in the garages before 6 p.m., you park for free all night! (14-hour max time limit applies).
- A City Resident Downtown Parking Permit does not guarantee a parking space. Therefore, if there parking is not available at the designated locations, then this does not permit residents to park at other metered areas without payment.
