Structures and Surface Lot Permits#
The City of Fort Collins has three (3) Parking Structures and five (5) Surface lots that offer permits. All structures are gateless and have the newest technology available: digital signs that provide number of available spaces on each level, and indicator lights to help you navigate through the structure.
Permits are subject to space availability. If full, you may request to be placed on a wait list. All permits are License Plate Recognition. Enforcement vehicles will drive by a vehicle and identify valid permits.
These additions to Downtown area parking help make the system more cohesive, easier, and predictable for all users. Please contact Customer Service at 970-221-6617 to inquire about availability or for any other questions.

Where you can park depends on your permit type. The majority of city and county permit holders have covered permits. This allows you to park on the second level and above M-F 8am - 5pm. After 5pm and weekends you can park anywhere, except for areas that are signed, or the indicator light reflects reserved for ADA, Police or other.
