Reserve Parking Meters

Do you need to use a parking meter space for moving, deliveries, or a special event? You can reserve meters to guarantee available parking for limited uses. For example, contractors working on a remodel can have easy access to supplies. We'll put No Parking covers over the meters so no one else can use them on your reserved dates and times.

We only allow meter reservations for specific uses. Reservations for everyday personal use are not allowed.


New Online Application!

We’ve launched a new online process for requesting meter hooding. The new process is more efficient and allows us to review requests more quickly.

Online Form

Step 1.Check your eligibility

  • We'd all love a reserved parking spot downtown, but we don't allow reservations for personal parking

  • Submit your request at least two (2) business days before the date you want to begin your reservation

Step 2.Choose a start and end date

Submit this application at least two (2) business days before your reservation start date. This gives us time to reserve the space or get back to you if there are any issues with your request.

Step 3.Find your chosen meter numbers

You can find meter numbers displayed on each meter itself, or you can use our Parking Meter Interactive Map.

Step 4.Fill out the online application

  • You'll pay a $10 application fee and $23 per meter, per day.
  • If your plans change, we can cancel or change the dates of your reservation. If you don't let us know, we'll have to bill you for your requested reservations.
  • We charge fees for every day you request to use the meter or meters -- including weekend days.
