City of Coral Gables sells monthly permits at all four municipal garages and various municipal lots around the city. Permits are sold on a calendar monthly or quarterly cycle. Existing permits are active from the first to the last day of the month, 24 hours per day, seven days a week. All existing permits must be renewed before the last day of the month to avoid deactivation or loss of space. Please email parking@coralgables.com to request a parking permit application.

Please note: All new permits become active on the day of purchase, cannot be purchased in advance or during renewal period (last five business days of the month.) Rates will not be prorated per day. Refunds will not be issued for paid parking prior to permit purchase.

Vehicle storage is not permitted in any city-owned/managed parking garage by anyone including monthly access card holders. Any vehicle parked in a city-owned/managed parking garage without being moved in over 48 hours will be issued a parking citation(s) and could be towed away at the owner’s expense.

City of Coral Gables has instituted a Residential Permit Parking Program that is available to any residential property owner when there is significant shortage of parking availability in the immediate area due to commercial parking incursion. A residential property owner can petition a Residential Permit Parking Program in a specific block of any single street named or numbered. If the petition is signed by a majority, one more than 50% of the property owners within the designated zone, the parking director may determine whether the designated area qualifies for inclusion in the residential decal program. The cost for a Residential Parking Permit is $20.00 per vehicle per year. Four visitor hanglets are sold per participating household. Additional visitor hanglets are available for purchase at $5.00 each per day.
