What
rules apply to on-street parking next to commercial businesses?
Within the core business district, parking is governed by coin-fed parking
meters. Outside the core business district, parking is free with no daily
time limit.
What
rules apply to on-street parking next to residences?
With a parking permit, parking is free with no daily time limit. Without
a parking permit, parking is free but limited to 2 or 3 hours as specified
by street signs. Any vehicle left in the same spot for more than 72 continuous
hours is subject to ticketing and towing, whether or not you have a parking
permit.
Who
can obtain a city parking permit?
Full-time residents may obtain a parking permit for the parking district
in which they live. Non-resident owners of residences located in a parking

district, may not obtain a parking permit for that district.
How
do I obtain a city parking permit?
Go to City Hall. Provide proof of residency, register your vehicle for
and pay the city’s personal property tax, and obtain a city windshield

vehicle, and $50 for each additional vehicle.
How
do I obtain a parking permit for guests?
A guest is someone who visits a resident for less than 24 hours. The resident
must go to City Hall, obtain a guest parking permit, and write the license
plate information of the guest’s vehicle on the permit before using
it. There is no charge for guest parking permits. Guest parking permits
are valid for up to 24 hours.
How
do I obtain a parking permit for visitors?
A visitor is someone who visits a resident for more than 24 hours and
less than 30 days. The resident must go to City Hall and provide the make,
model, year, color and license plate information of the visitor’s
vehicle. There is a $5 fee for visitor parking permits valid for more
than 7 days. Visitor parking permits are valid for a maximum of 30 days
and are not renewable. No more than two visitor parking permits will be
issued to the same residence at the same time.
How
do I obtain a parking permit for business contractors?
A contractor is someone doing business in the home of a resident. The
resident must go to Alexandria City Hall and provide the make, model,
year, color and license plate information of the contractor’s vehicle.
There is no charge for business parking permits. No more than three business
parking permits will be issued to the same residence at the same time.
What
if I can’t get to Alexandria City Hall during business hours?
On evenings, weekends and holidays, visitor parking permits can be obtained
at the Alexandria Police Department located at 2003 Mill Road. On weekday
evenings from 6:00 – 9:00 pm except holidays, visitor parking permits
can be obtained at the information desk in the main lobby of the Nannie
J. Lee Recreation Center located at 1108 Jefferson Street (use the front
door facing Jefferson Street).
What
else?
You can obtain guest, visitor and business contractor parking permits
in advance of the dates you require them.
How
do I arrange for temporary reserved parking on my street?
The city allows residents and businesses to “block-off” portions
of streets for weddings, wedding receptions, funerals, wakes, parades,
moving, loading and unloading, construction equipment, repairs and maintenance,
city events, snow removal, emergency security and other city-approved
events. Temporary reserved parking is not available for private parties
(you need obtain guest or visitor parking permits for these events).
For temporary reserved
parking, go to City Hall and provide the exact location of the desired
temporary reserved parking (street address, which side of the street,
etc.). Temporary reserve parking signs must be posted on the affected
street no later than 5:00 pm three business days prior to when the parking
spaces are needed (weekends and holidays excluded).
The cost is $10 per
day per non-metered space (20 feet per space) up to a maximum of 5 spaces
or 100 feet of curb for weddings, wedding receptions, funerals, wakes
and moving, and as needed for all other approved uses.
