Downtown Resident Parking Information

Living in Downtown Frederick has many perks, including Residential Parking Permits. With a valid residential permit you can park along the streets listed below, any day of the week, without further charge for up to 48 hours. However, you must still adhere to the restrictions for sweeping and trash pickup night, as posted for each street.

There are two types of Residential Parking Permits: Metered and Non-Metered. Residential Metered Parking Permits allow you to park on most of the streets listed above, while Non-Metered permits allow you to park along only those streets that are not controlled by parking meters.

If there are meters on your block, you may apply for either type of permit. The first Residential Metered Parking Permit costs $50 and the second costs $100. If you would prefer to have a Non-Metered Parking Permit, the first is provided free of charge and the second costs $100. You’re allowed a maximum of two Residential Parking Permits per dwelling.

If there are no meters on your block, you may apply for up to two Residential Non-Metered Parking Permits. The first is provided free of charge and the second costs $100.

Residents may also obtain visitor permits by providing the address where the car will be parked, the vehicle tag number, the duration of the stay and a $4 deposit. Once the visitor hang tag is returned, you’ll get your deposit back. On metered streets, the cost is $1 per hour or $8 per day. On non-metered streets, the cost is $1 per day. Visit the Parking Office to apply for and pick up a visitor permit. Cost may vary depending upon location.
