March 2022 Clearwater Parking Permit changes

What is better about the new system (for most)

  1. The goal of the parking permit is to create a more inclusive system that could be used by more residents. 
  2. The new ½ price discount through Parkmobile is available anywhere Clearwater has paid parking; not just at a few locations on the beach.
    1. Includes downtown parking.   
  3. We’re happy to offer this program to every City of Clearwater resident without limiting the number like we did with the old permit.
  4. The permit is free to obtain and you pay as you go.  Impossible to lose money.
