The City currently imposes a 25% tax on total parking charges for all off-street parking throughout the City. Parking Operators file and pay taxes monthly and have additional requirements, including a Certificate of Authority, a Parking Bond, and Revenue Control Equipment fees.

If an operator receives $40,000 or less per year in parking revenue per location and less than $250,000 across all locations, the location may qualify for designation as a Small Operator. Small Operators do not need a Certificate of Authority or parking bond, and file and pay parking taxes annually by January 31st.
