Permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Waitlists are not available for parking garages or parking lots.<br /><br />Permit holders may renew their permits and retain their parking privileges as long as permit invoices remain current. Individuals seeking parking for an academic term should select either a monthly or three-month permit, as school-year permit periods are not available.<br /><br />Parking garage permits are issued as RFID-enabled hang tags that allow permit holders to enter and exit individual garages. After entering a garage, permit holders must park in designated permit parking areas and should not park in spaces marked for hourly parking or reserved parking.<br /><br />Permits may be purchased online. To view garage and lot availability and purchase a permit, visit <a style="white-space:nowrap" href="https://www.CoMo.gov/parking">CoMo.gov/parking</a> and follow the instructions under "Standard parking garage or lot permits."<br /><br />When a per
mit is no longer needed, the RFID hang tag must be returned to City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. Failure to return the hang tag will result in a $25 fee. <br /><br />For questions about parking permits, contact the City of Columbia at 573.874.CITY (2489) or by email at Parking@CoMo.gov.</div>
