The City of Greenville's official Parking website encompasses all parking-related services, including online citation payment, rules and enforcement, permits and contact information.

Residential Parking

Residents of a controlled residential parking area are eligible to receive one (1) residential parking decal for each vehicle operated by each resident.  Vehicles used for nonresidents, commuting, or for storage do not qualify for a parking permit.  For more information or to apply for a residential parking sticker, call (252) 329-4884.

The City of Greenville prohibits the parking of vehicles in the yard, otherwise referred to as "Parking on an Unimproved Surface."  You will be fined a nominal fee for parking your vehicle in an area that is not a designated driveway.  For more information, call (252) 329-4110.

Employment Leasing

The City offers the use of surface lot spaces (excluding the parking garage) for employers and employees in the downtown area. These permit holders will utilize unreserved spaces while displaying a decal provided by the City.

Employers may purchase up to 10 permits, while employees may purchase one permit. Five plate numbers can be assigned to each employer permit, and decals will be provided to each employee. Employers must provide all vehicle registrations needed for the employer permit at the same time in order to qualify for a permit.

The cost for a permit is $264 annually or $132 for six months. Permit prices increase each year in July. For more information about obtaining an employment parking permit, call (252) 329-4884.

Parking Fines

Parking fines are a method of ensuring authorized parking.  These fines are issued on the basis of the manner by which a vehicle is illegally parked.

The City of Greenville employs four full time and four part-time Parking Enforcement Officers to enforce the City's parking codes throughout the downtown and residential areas of Greenville's city limits.  These enforcement officers issue parking tickets and enforce parking regulations.

If your vehicle is towed, all fines and penalties must be paid to retrieve your vehicle.
