New Permit Parking Program Will Consolidate Variety of Existing City Parking Permits Into One Program in Gaithersburg

Per The City of Gaithersburg: Gaithersburg currently maintains a patchwork of permit parking programs in both residential and commercial neighborhoods. In order to address community concerns about permit parking, the City established a work group with representation from different departments in the spring 2023 to analyze, develop, and implement a new permit-parking program.

This page is intended to provide the community with updates on the Permit Parking Program Project. City staff conducted a presentation to the Mayor and City Council about the program on March 27, 2023. Information about that meeting is below:

The Permit Parking Program will consolidate the variety of existing City Parking Permits into one program. The existing programs are Residential Permit Parking, Commercial Permit Parking, The Crossings Permit Program, Commuter Permit Parking, and Temporary Permit Parking. The scope of this project will:

  • Make amendments to City Code, Section 14 -17A Resident Parking Permit Areas.
  • Establish City Regulations on the Permit Parking Program. The Permit Parking Regulations will:
    • Establish definitions of terms.
    • Establish criteria for neighborhood eligibility.
    • Procedures to establish, modify or remove permitted areas.
    • Establish procedures for registering, issuing, and purging old permits, etc.

The timeline for this project is to be presented to the Mayor and City Council for City Code changes and new Parking Permit Regulations for review and approval in the first quarter of 2024, with an anticipated implementation date on or around mid–2024.

We need your help in this process. We are interested in learning about existing parking conditions in your neighborhood. Please complete this survey to provide us your feedback, which will be used by the project team to develop a robust City Code and new regulations concerning the Parking Permit Program.
