How to Park in Tampa

WHERE ARE YOU PARKING?

Parking in an On-Street Space

  1. Find an open parking space designated for your intended use.

    • Standard vehicles should look for an open on-street space with a meter head, or overhead signage, identifying the parking zone.
    • Freight vehicles should look for designated Freight Zones identified by signage in the space.
    • Rideshare vehicles, and deliveries should look for short-term parking spaces. The City offers many 30-Minute and 15-Minute spaces for these purposes. These are designated by clear signage in the space.
  2. Pay for your parking session

    • Standard vehicles will need to use either an on-street pay station or one of the City four mobile payment apps to pay for their parking session. You will need your license plate number and the zone number from the meter head or overhead sign.
    • Freight vehicles do not need to interact with the app, but need to vacate the space in the timeframe indicated on the freight signage.
    • Rideshare and delivery vehicles also do not need to interact with a pay station or app, but must simply vacate the space in the timeframe indicated on the signage.
  3. Ready to leave? Just hop in your car and head on to your next destination.
