The City of Monroe is launching a Pilot Paid Parking Program to offer residents and businesses an opportunity to purchase up to two parking spaces in a permitted lot with premier access and convenience to Downtown.
The program establishes the City-owned parking lot located at the intersection of N. Hayne Street and E. Crowell Street as a paid permitted lot.
The purpose is to provide businesses, building owners, and employees with a designated parking space for a fee to assess the demand and interest of paid parking spaces in the Downtown area.

Applications will open on Monday, October 21, 2024.
The program will go into effect on Friday, November 1, 2024.
Spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis with a fee of $1,000 per space. There will not be any holds on parking spaces without a complete application and payment in full.
The lot will close to the public on October 28 for maintenance before reopening as a paid by permit only lot.
Location & Spaces
The parking lot is located at the intersection of N. Hayne Street and E. Crowell Street.
18 parking spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each individual may purchase up to two (2) parking spaces.
Cost
The fee is $1,000 per parking space for six (6) months. There will be a $10 fee for replaced placards in the event of a lost card.
No refunds will be permitted for those who do not fulfill their paid parking agreement terms.
Permit Process
Applications will be available online starting October 21, 2024. Once an application has been submitted, the applicant will be contacted by City Staff to complete the process and arrange to make payment.

All permit holders will be required to sign the City of Monroe Vehicle Parking Permit Agreement (PDF).
