City of St. Augustine to permanently discontinue ParkNow Cards
Resident parking discount remains in place with registered license plate
On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at 9:00pm, the City of St. Augustine will no longer accept ParkNow Cards as a form of parking payment at city-managed pay stations, parking lots, and the Downtown Historic Parking Facility, due to the phasing-out of the card reader technology.
“In 2023, we began this process by rolling out the license plate registration for St. Johns County residents so they could still benefit from the resident discount,” commented Assistant City Manager Reuben Franklin. “We want people who still have the ParkNow Cards to use them while they’re still good – before October 1st of this year. Once residents register their license plate online, they will no longer need the card.”
As a reminder when parking at a surface lot or parking space, cardholders will enter the registered license plate number at the city parking kiosk to receive the discount. When parking at the (Historic Downtown) parking garage, the electronic license plate reader will recognize the registered plate number and automatically apply the St. Johns County Resident discount rate. (You will then pay at the toll booth.)
To find available parking, visit www.CityStAug.com/ParkingFinder.
A full refund of the balance on the card will be issued to the cardholder for any ParkNow Card surrendered in person to the Parking Division at 50 Bridge Street before Friday, December 29, 2028.
Eligible residents can register for the St. Johns County Resident parking discount online at www.ParkStAug.com.
The ParkStAug mobile app is available to the public and is not required to receive the St. Johns County resident parking discount. Mobile phone users can download the ParkStAug app from the Apple and Google Play stores for additional mobile parking pay options.
