Welcome to the City of Houston Parking Management division - where our goal is to make public parking friendly and convenient throughout the City.
It's our responsibility to ensure convenient, affordable parking for the residents, businesses and visitors to our city. We're committed to meeting the diverse parking needs of the public while promoting compliance with all City parking ordinances.
Our on-street parking program creates sound regulations for all commercial and residential areas. By listening to concerns from local businesses and residents, we understand unique circumstances exist in each area of the City, and we tailor regulations to provide maximum benefits.
Parking Management also establishes regulations to enhance pedestrian safety, ensure a smooth flow of traffic and to allow emergency vehicles to reach their destinations. Loading zones are established to provide space for dropping off or picking up goods without blocking the flow of traffic, while mobility, or “diamond,” lanes provide an additional travel lane to expedite the movement of traffic during peak periods.
Our customers drive - we're customer-service driven. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.

Volunteer Parking Enforcement Program
As part of Annise D. Parker's Volunteer Initiatives Program (VIP), Parking Management holds volunteer trainings for citizens interested in getting involved in protecting their communities and helping fight disabled parking abuse.
The Disabled Parking Volunteer Program is designed to ensure individuals whose needs require accessible parking spaces have those spaces available. With the generous help of citizen volunteers, Parking Management is better able to ensure parking space availability to those who need it most.
