ParkNow UPDATE

City of St. Augustine – ParkNow UPDATE

Effective immediately, the City of St. Augustine is no longer issuing new ParkNow Cards

Here’s what you need to know:

Current ParkNow cards with funds will still work in the meters/kiosks and at the parking garage and should be used until balances are depleted.

Residents can transfer existing funds from the ParkNow Card to a virtual wallet on the ParkStAug mobile app. The card must be surrendered to the Parking Division, so this must be done in person at 50 Bridge Street.

When parking in a surface lot or parking space, residents will enter the registered license plate number at the parking kiosk to receive the resident discount.

Beginning in 2024, when parking at the parking garage, the electronic license plate reader will recognize the registered plate number and automatically apply the St. Johns County Resident discount rate upon entry to the garage. Until then, existing ParkNow cards should be used.

Register for your St. Johns County Resident discount online at www.ParkStAug.com.

The ParkStAug mobile app is available from the Apple and Google Play stores for additional mobile parking pay options.

To find available parking, visit http://www.citystaug.com/ParkingSpotFinder.

A good place to start, click here.  Or click here for more info on their FB page where it mentions free handicap parking and the discounted rate.  The St. Johns County resident discount remains the same. It is $0.50 per hour in City-metered parking areas and $3.00 per entry at the parking garage.  A big savings on parking.

It is $0.50 per hour in City-metered parking areas and $3.00 per entry at the parking garage.  A big savings on parking — see below fees:

Parking Garage costs $20.00 per vehicle per day during peak parking times, between 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Those vehicles that enter during off-peak times between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. will be charged only $5.00. (Currently $5 for all after 5pm at the parking garage but … it will be $20 all day from Nov 23rd 2024 – Jan 5th 2025. It will resume $5 after 5pm on Jan 6th 2025.)     So sign up for your resident discount permit!
