Where
can I park my vehicle while I am at work in the downtown area?
A
few business owners downtown provide parking for their employees. For others,
most streets on the periphery of the downtown area offer long-term-parking.
Look for areas without 2-hour parking limits. The LDDA also manages 7 parking
lots in the downtown area, a percentage of spaces in each lot are allocated
for permit parking.
Where
can I find out more about these lots and the cost of parking permits?
Permits
can be purchased from the Longmont Downtown Development Authority at 528
Main St, Phone (303) 651-8484. All permits are the same price, currently $120.00 invoiced twice a year. Permit parking availability changes
monthly, check with LDDA for more information.
If
I receive a parking ticket, what do I do?
To
avoid delinquency charges, tickets must be paid within 7 days of issuance.
Either mail the payment in the envelope provided or come to the Civic Center
at 350 Kimbark St.
What
are the time limits for parking in the downtown area?
We
have several different time limits in the downtown area, most limits are
2 hours. We also have 1 hour and 30 minute parking in a few areas. The cost
of a parking ticket for over-time parking is $20.00.

do I call for parking complaints?
