Policy for Temporarily Reserving On-Street Parking Spaces

The City of St. Petersburg retains the right to occasionally reserve parking spaces on a temporary special-needs basis.

Requests to reserve spaces in front of buildings not in a construction or work zone will require approval from the business. Temporary space reservations will cost $10 per day and will be paid at the time of reservation.
