Parking Costs More

The City of Pensacola-owned parking has increased in rates from 50 cents an hour to $1 an hour, effective Wednesday, May 1.

Parking Management estimates a revenue increase of more than $240,000 and plans to reinvest the additional revenue into the city’s municipal parking products, including improving customer experience, parking equipment, payment technology, maintaining parking assets, and planning for the future. The city’s most recent rate increase occurred in 2007, with rates increasing from 25 cents an hour to 50 cents an hour.

City parking remains free on Sundays — excluding boat ramps.
