On September 30, 2015, the City Commission approved Ordinance No. 2015-3966 amending several parking rates (see attached).
The rate increases listed below are already in effect.
Parking Meter Rates
• South Beach Parking Zone
on-street rates increase from $1.75 to $4.00 hourly
off-street rates increase from $1.75 to $2.00 hourly
• East Middle Beach Zone
Restructure rates and hours of enforcement for Collins Avenue/Indian Creek between 23rd Street and 44th Streets to be consistent with rates and hours in South Beach
on-street rates increase from $1.00 to $3.00 hourly
off-street rates increase from $1.00 to $2.00 hourly
It is important to note that the hourly parking meter rate increases did not apply to Miami Beach residents. Miami Beach residents enjoy a reduced hourly parking meter rate of $1.00/hour citywide, through Parkmobile (payment mobile application).

However, the approved rate increases at garages has not taken effect since we did not have a mechanism to provide the discounted parking rate for residents.
We have now completed the transition of the gated parking equipment (SkiData) at nine (9) of ten (10) garages which includes payment acceptance via Parkmobile (mobile app). Therefore, we can now extend the resident parking rate discount currently available at metered parking at our garages as well.
The remaining facility to transition is the 5th & Alton Garage where parking rates are governed by the developer pursuant to the development agreement and therefore not governed by city ordinance.
In summary, the approved increase to the garage rates would increase the first four (4) hours from $1/hour to $2/hour, which is the current rate at our parking lots.
We are ready to proceed with the rate increase and are seeking direction as to effective date.
