Parking

Apply for parking permits, pay or contest a parking ticket, and find on- and off-street parking in Berkeley.

Apply for a residential preferential parking permit or purchase visitor parking passes. Look up parking meter prices and time limits for various commercial areas in Berkeley. Pay your parking ticket online, by phone, or in person. Follow a three-step process to contest your parking ticket. Learn about restrictions for on-street parking, and find an off-street garage or lot. People with disabilities can apply for free parking at City-owned parking garages and request a blue zone near their home.
