Public Parking

singlespace_screens-3-1The City of Rockville Debuts New Smart Meters

In September 2022, the City of Rockville teamed up with IPS Group to replace 300 aging parking meters with new smart parking meters in Town Center, City Hall and Twinbrook neighborhoods. These new environmentally friendly smart parking meters feature a display that illuminates at a press of a button and allows motorists to view parking rates, hours, and restrictions. The new meters are energy-efficient, rechargeable and powered by solar panels. The easy-to-use smart meters will accept credit or debit card payments directly at the meter, payment through the ParkMobile app, and coins of multiple denominations.

Public Parking

The City of Rockville offers nearly 500 spaces for metered parking. The city does not operate any parking garages. The acceptable payment method varies by the particular meter. Please review the meter that you plan to park at for acceptable payment methods. The ParkMobile pay-by-phone app is an available payment option for all meters.

ParkMobile

The ParkMobile app is available for both iPhone and Android devices. Pay for parking and extend parking by following the instructions in the app.

No Smartphone? Call 877-727-5305.

Handicap Parking

All metered spaces in the city are free with valid handicap identification. Illegally parking in a handicap space will result in a fine.

Broken Meters

If a parking meter is not registering time with the insertion of coins, debit/credit card or ParkMobile, you must either park elsewhere or pay with another payment method available. To report a broken parking meter, please call the Rockville City Police Non-Emergency Center at 240-314-8900 or use the Broken Parking Meter form.

Abandoned Vehicles

Under Maryland Motor Vehicle Law, a motor vehicle or trailer is considered abandoned when it has remained illegally parked on public and private property for more than forty-eight (48) hours. Examples for the term illegally parked would be:

  • Not displaying any or currently valid registration plates
  • Is displaying registration plates of another vehicle
  • Is inoperable and left unattended on public property
  • Is parked without the consent of the owner on private property

Please use the Abandoned Vehicle Report to report an abandoned vehicle within the city limits of Rockville.
