Downtown Mesa
Parking Program
Works for Everyone!
Convenient
Ample Availability
Downtown Mesa's Parking Program is an innovative, area-wide parking system utilized by more than 10,000 daily customers in free spaces and more than 3,400 employees in long-term permit spaces.
This unique parking program was developed to accommodate the considerable business growth in Downtown by giving top priority to free and convenient parking for all of Downtown Mesa's customers and clients.
Free on-street, all-day parking is also offered to Downtown employees within a one to two block walk of most businesses. In addition, specific parking lots and parking garages with long-term leasable spaces are available for employees who opt not to utilize the free on-street parking within a few blocks walk.
The purchase of a parking decal allows you to park anywhere within the signed permit required areas between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Time limits for decals are not in effect on Saturdays, Sundays, and City of Mesa holidays.
Free customer day passes are provided to customers who plan to park in public parking lots or garages beyond the posted time limits. These free customer day passes are available through businesses and Downtown Mesa Association upon request. Non-customer use of free day passes is not valid and will be cited.
The overall Downtown Mesa Parking Program is managed by Downtown Mesa Association under contract with the City of Mesa. (scroll up for contact information).
Payment Information
A long-term permit decal payment structure has been established for employees who choose to park in restricted spaces.
Billing statements will be mailed by the 20th of each month and payment is due by the 10th of the following month. If payment is not made by the due date, the parking decal shall become invalid (Mesa City Ordinance 10-5-1(F)1). A service charge of 1.5% per month shall be levied on all past due accounts.
All parking decals must be returned to Downtown Mesa Association (58 West Main Street) within 5 working days from the last day of use. Billing will continue until the decal has been returned.
