Updated Parking Rates - Beginning July 1, 2026

On November 5, 2025 the City of Tucson Mayor and Council gave notice of their intent(PDF, 774KB) to increase parking rates and extend parking meter enforcement hours in 2026.

On January 21, 2026, a public hearing was held during the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Council. During the meeting, a motion was adopted to delay and postpone any parking rate increases and any extension of parking meter enforcement hours for up to 90 days. 

During the postponement period, the Park Tucson Division researched, collected, and analyzed parking data, participated in discussions with the public, and worked closely with stakeholders to evaluate the proposed changes. 

On May 5, 2026, a public hearing was held regarding the proposed parking rate increases during the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Council. At the public hearing, the Mayor and Council voted unanimously (7-0) to approve the proposed parking rate increases. 

There were no changes to the extension of the parking meter enforcement hours. Parking meter enforcement hours will remain unchanged and continue to be enforced Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Parking remains free on Sundays.  

The new parking rates will become effective July 1, 2026. Additional information is provided below.
