Meter Permit FAQ's
The Division of Parking realizes the need to close meters for construction-related
projects or special events
at various locations throughout downtown. As a
result, the Division of Parking has developed the Parking Meter
Permit Program which offers several different types of meter
permits, depending on the event and the length of time the permit is
needed. This permit is designed to make legal parking more
convenient by having the parker pre-pay the meter fee in return for
a permit that is to be displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle.
Parking meter permits are
issued on a first come, first serve basis and may be renewed weekly with a new application. Financial districts, as
approved by Norfolk city ordinance, determine meter rates.
Permits are not available on Sundays, federal, state and local
holidays, or after 6 p.m. Monday – Saturday. Posted hours of
operation are the enforcement hours for parking meters.
Parking
meter permit applications must be received by noon at least two
business day prior to the required date. Applications and
cancellations must be
received in writing by noon at least one business day prior to
cancellation in order to receive a refund.
Cancellations can be faxed to (757) 664-6244. A parking meter
permit will be withdrawn when a parking metered space is not
occupied for a 2-hour period. No refund or credit will be
issued.
Download an Application
for Meter Permit and fax the completed, signed and dated
application to the Division of Parking at (757) 664-6244. Once
the permit is generated, an invoice will be faxed or e-mailed.
Payment is required to pick up a parking meter permit. Checks
and money orders should be made payable to the Treasurer, City of
Norfolk. Cash and credit cards are also acceptable forms of
payment. Permits are available from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at
the Customer Service Center located at 222 East Main Street,
Norfolk, VA 23510. For assistance, please call (757) 664-6222.
