Parking Division

Under the direction of the Department of Public Works, the Parking Division is responsible for the oversight of public parking locations within the City of Tampa limits. With an annual budget just over $16 million, the Division develops parking policy and plans for specific facility expansion to serve the parking demand in the central business district and surrounding commercial and residential areas.

The present parking inventory consists of 9 garages and 10 surface lots owned and/or operated by the Division. Additionally, 11 surface lots are leased from the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority and operated by the Division, comprising a grand total of 11, 572 off-street spaces. Total on-street spaces controlled by parking meter consist of 1,601 in the downtown core.

The Division is also responsible for the oversight of residential parking areas in the Channel District and South Ybor City. For additional information regarding the present Tampa Parking System, please contact our offices at 813-274-8177.
