Transaction Fees (Based on Membership Level):

When registering for pay by phone parking service with Parkmobile via our website you're given two membership options: "ParkmobilePro Membership", which carries with it a monthly fee, and "Basic Membership", which has no monthly fee. In your area, it currently makes the most sense for you to select the "Basic Membership" instead of the "ParkmobilePro Membership". Since your transaction fees are the same with either membership type, you wouldn’t benefit from the "ParkmobilePro Membership". In the future there will be many more benefits included with the "ParkmobilePro Membership" which may influence your decision to choose it for a monthly fee instead of the no monthly fee "Basic Membership".

By default when you register via any other method other than the website, your membership level is set to "Basic Membership".

Additionally, there is no cost to download one of our mobile apps and no cost to register via a mobile app or online.

The transaction fees for this area are as follows:

How Will Enforcement Officers Know That I've Paid? Will My Payment Show on the Meter?

Parkmobile payments do not integrate with the meters in this area. While your payment will not show on the meter, the officer will use your license plate number,  zone number, and space number (where applicable) to view your Parkmobile payment on a handheld device. As such, please make sure to add any additional license plate numbers to your account before creating a parking session in order to make sure your parking transactions are correctly created.

Zone Number Information and Range:

Can transactions in zones in this area be stopped? Extended? Why or why not?

You can not stop a session once started. You must select the amount of time you want in advance and pay for that time with your credit card. If you chose more time than you needed, you will not be able to stop the session or get a refund.

You are able to extend your parking time, if you see that you need more than the amount you initially paid for, as long as you haven't already chosen the maximum allowed. In order to extend a transaction it must still be active and not yet expired. Example: if the maximum is 4 hours, and you chose 2 hours, you can then extend your session before it expires for up to an additional 2 hours. Note that extensions are separate transactions, and therefore each extension carries a transaction fee as well.
