![]() ![]() Those residing in one of Baltimore’s residential districts can purchase an area parking permit. If you live in one of Baltimore’s residential parking zones, I doubt you’ve seen at least one variation of this sign. Where and how to pay tickets in my article, How to Pay Parking Tickets in Baltimore City. Check the current rates by clicking the Parking Fines Listing link (under the “Other” section) on the Baltimore City Department of Finance website. The rates listed are current as of 2020 but may change over time. Unless otherwise noted, if the sign is on the right side of the road, it only applies to the right side of the street if the sign is on the left side of the street, it only applies to the left side. For example, the ticket fees for “No Stopping” or “No Parking” signs are generally $32 but increase to $52 if they contain a tow-away statement at the bottom.Īdditionally, though this may seem obvious, it can be challenging to determine sometimes: signs are “side-specific.” In other words, they only apply to the side of the street where they appear. One of the differentiating factors for fee rates is whether a sign says “Cars Towed Away” or “Tow Away Zone.” The fee will be higher if the sign states either of these (or similar). Dealing with an immobilized vehicle is a pain, so be sure you promptly pay (or contest, if you dare!) any tickets you receive. Tickets range from $32 to $500 and, although relatively trivial offenses, can result in your vehicle being booted (immobilized with a lock/chain) if you delay paying three consecutive tickets. The city separates parking into three categories: public parking, such as metered or free spots private parking, such as LAZ or company-owned lots and resident-specific permitted parking, such as “Area #30 parking” or “Permit Holder Only” spots. Though you can occasionally get away with parking in a no-park zone, it’s best to learn (and follow) the city’s parking guidelines. Baltimore, like most cities, uses signage as an indicator of parking legality. ![]()
