Parking Meters

On-Street Parking 

Starting in 2021, Denver parking meters are now accepting payments by phone. Download the PaybyPhone app on your mobile phone and follow the prompts to pay for your metered parking. Learn more about the Pay by Phone program from Denver's street parking info page.

There are approximately 580 Smart Meters located throughout the neighborhood that are maintained, run and monitored by the City and County of Denver. 

Paid on-street parking is required from 8am to 7pm, Monday - Saturday. Parking at a meter space or multi-space section is free Sundays and select City holidays. 

You can purchase on‐street parking for three hours at a time. Parking is $2 an hour, with a minimum of 15 minutes. The Smart Meters accept credit cards, quarters, and parking tokens.
