What are the hours of parking meters enforcement?

Parking meters are enforced Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., unless otherwise posted.

What should I do if the meter I park at is broken?

The best thing to do is to move to another meter and report the broken meter to the Parking Meter Shop at (800) 808-5998 (toll free). Be sure to note the number on the parking meter before you call. The parking meter number can be found on a metal plate, toward the bottom of the meter, on the street side of the meter.

I am moving to a new apartment/condo/business and need to reserve a spot for the moving van. Can I get a permit from the City to "hood" one or more parking meters to reserve a parking space on the street?

No. Moving vans are required to pay meter fees.

Who do I contact to "hood" one or more parking meters for a special event?

Contact the City of San Diego Office of Special Events.

Where can I get information about the Parking Meter District Program?

Visit the Parking Meter District Program web page.
