You must apply with the Permit Application Center to get a parking permit.

Parking Structure Parking Permits

You can get one of the following types of parking permits for a surface lot or parking structure:

• Daily
• Part-time* (see additional information)
• Monthly (charged a one-time processing and automation fee)

A downtown resident who wants to park in a downtown parkade will need to purchase a permit effective July 1, 2019.

*Employees who work less than 25 hours per week are eligible for a part-time parking permit at a lower rate. A letter from your employer verifying your work hours must be submitted when you apply for your permit.

Parking permits are subject to availability and do not guarantee you a spot to park.

Apply in person at the Customer Service Center by providing the following:

• Payment for the parking permit fee
• Photo ID
• Vehicle license plate number (required for monthly permits)

Apply online by submitting a facility parking permit application to parkingpermits@cityofsalem.net.

You will receive a copy of the parking policies when you get your permit.
