Parking

Beware of fraudulent parking permits being sold by third-party resellers! If your license plate does NOT match what’s listed on your permit, you’ve purchased a fraudulent permit. If you have a fraudulent permit, return it to the original point of purchase, and secure parking directly from ParkMobile.
