SURFACE LOT AND POE GARAGE PERMIT USE:

Use of the City of Tampa Surface Lot or Poe Garage Permit shall be solely restricted to the applicant-approved, permit customer. Any attempt to resell or transfer the use of the permit to a third party is strictly prohibited. Any such case of fraudulent activity will result in termination of permit privileges. It is the permit holder’s responsibility to ensure the vehicle tag # is linked to the permit through online account management, as the tag # is the permit credential. Please be advised Florida does not recognize the letter “O”, would always be entered as a zero (“0”).  Be sure to select correct STATE as well when entering the tag # online. Tag # entry must be exact- no spaces or dashes. Failure to have the correct license plate # linked to the permit will result in a parking citation. A monthly parker must have all outstanding balances paid to retain his/her permit, including any citations or other fees.
