Learn about how much you can save by purchasing a Monthly Permit.

Daytime and 24/7 vs. Overnight Rates

Monthly garage daytime parking permits are valid in most facilities from 4:00 am – 10:00 pm, Monday – Friday. Monthly Overnight parking permits are valid in most facilities from 6:00 pm – 7:00 am, 7 days a week. Parking Utility also offers Unlimited 24/7 Permits which allow parkers unlimited access to a chosen parking garage.

Resident vs. Non-Resident Rates

The resident rate is available only to people who live in the City of Madison or carpool. A City of Madison home address is required to qualify as a resident; a work address in the city does not qualify a person for the resident rate. The non-resident rate applies to businesses and non-city residents.


Parking Agreement

A monthly parking permit guarantees parking availability for you in the garage or lot, but there are no assigned parking stalls. Permit holders should park in any legal stall in the lot or garage.

Monthly parking permits require a minimum of a 30 day agreement, except for State Street Campus Garage which requires a 90 day agreement for the 24/7 permit.  A written cancellation notice, to the Parking Utility Office at least 30 days in advance of the date you wish to discontinue participation in the monthly parking program, is required for all garages and lots. The notice may be completed in person or sent to phoeth@cityofmadison.com. All cards and hangtags must be returned within 15 business days of termination.

How to Obtain a Monthly Permit

To obtain a monthly parking permit, contact the Parking Utility Office at (608) 267-8752 or phoeth@cityofmadison.com to schedule a time to complete and sign the agreement form, make the first month’s payment, and pick up your access card or permit. All monthly permit agreements must be completed in person at the Parking Utility Office. Office hours for Monthly permitting are Monday – Friday from 7:30 am – 4:00 pm.

Please contact our office within 10 days of the date on which you wish to start parking; permits will not be held for parkers who wish to start at a later date. Permits can typically be issued on the same day that you contact our office.

If the location you are looking for is not currently available, please send a formal request to phoeth@cityofmadison.com, to be added to the waiting list.  Include the following information: Name, phone number, email address and the location you would like a permit for. 

Payment

Payment for the first month must be made in person at the Parking Utility Office.

  1. In person at the Parking Utility Office. We accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard.
  2. Mail the payments to the Parking Utility Office. Please make sure that you allow enough time for the payment to arrive prior to the due date.
  3. A Credit Card Authorization Form is available for individual parkers who would like to setup Auto Pay Credit Card Transactions. This will allow your payment to be made automatically at the end of each month.
