New rates for parking meter fees and parking fines went into effect this week as part of changes approved by the Alexandria City Council during the FY 2027 Budget process.
As of Wednesday, July 1:
- Parking meter rates increased to $2.75 per hour
- Parking fines and citations increased to $55 per violation
The rate changes apply to all metered parking spaces in the City of Alexandria. Most metered spaces require payment Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and are free on Sundays and state holidays.
The City regularly patrols and enforces regulations for parking, stopping, and standing on City streets. This includes both posted parking restrictions and City Code requirements that support safety, accessibility, and traffic flow. Following parking regulations helps keep streets safe and accessible for everyone.
