Residential Parking

The City of Atlanta seeks to ensure adequate on-street parking for our residents and visitors. The ePermitting Restricted Parking Permit (RPP) Program was created to help ease parking congestion in residential neighborhoods around significant demand generators, while balancing the needs of all people to be able to use the public streets. The City of Atlanta has several neighborhood parking districts which only allow parking on public right of way with valid, non-expired permit. Applicants applying must adhere to the guidelines established per City Code, 21-O-0474

The neighborhoods currently participating in the program are:

·       Ansley Park

·       Ardmore Atkins

·       Brookwood Hills

·       Buckhead Forest

·       Castleberry Hill

·       Glen Iris

·       Home Park

·       Inman Park

·       Inwood Circle

·       Midtown

·       Peachtree Park

·       Poncey-Highland

·       Forrest St. NW

·       An annual Residential Parking Permit may be purchased for $20.00 per permit.

PLEASE NOTE: The LPR (license plate recognition) system which enforces residential parking does not recognize the letter “O” in license plate numbers entered for parking applications.  To ensure that vehicle license plates are properly read and recognized for permitting, enter “zeros” for every “O” in plate numbers when submitting your online application. For example, a personal license plate reading “HORIZON” should be entered as “H0RIZ0N.” This will eliminate potential erroneous citations issued to residents and their guests. Double checking that each plate number is entered accurately can also help avoid citations.

If you have any additional questions, regarding all ePermitting please go to our Help page to view FAQs and contact information. For information related to parking citations issued by the ATLPlus, please call 404.201.5396 or visit www.ATLPlusMobility.com.

Valet Parking

To operate a Valet Parking service on City streets, businesses are required to obtain a Valet Parking permit. Valet Parking permits are good for one year and must be renewed annually. To obtain a Valet Parking permit, operators must meet all safety standards and provide documentation of sufficient liability insurance.

Public Parking Lots and Garages (Park-for-Hire)

The Department of Transportation requires that all parking facilities that charge for parking obtain a Park-for-Hire permit. Park-for-Hire operators, property owners that use their land as a Park-for-Hire facility, must complete a Park-for-Hire permit application prior to the operation of a parking facility.

Temporary Use Lots/Special Event Parking (Temp-for-Hire)

The Department of Transportation allows for the temporary use of parking lots to accommodate for increased parking needs during special events. Temporary parking facilities used for parking near East Lake, Lakewood Amphitheatre, Mercedes Benz Stadium, Turner Field, etc. can be obtained by completing a Temp-for-Hire permit application.

Commercial Loading & Unloading

Access to commercial loading and unloading zones is managed by the Department of Transportation. Based on current regulations for the loading and unloading of certain commercial vehicles, applicants can obtain a permit for access to loading zones, managed by the City of Atlanta, and exemptions to metered on-street parking.
