A valid Commercial Decal is needed at all times.   Vehicles are subject to citations and towing for overtime parking in Commercial Loading Zones if parking exceeds more than 30 minutes.

If you wish to contest a parking ticket, you must appear no later than hearing date listed on the parking ticket.  Alternatively, you may contest your parking ticket via mail by sending a letter with the ticket number and any evidence necessary to contest the ticket.  A Parking Hearing Officer will review your case and make a ruling.

Please visit San Antonio Municipal Court's Online Payment System. 

Valid disabled parking placards are honored at all on-street meters, lots and garages. Permits must be properly displayed at all times from the rear view mirror facing outward for the enforcement officer’s verification.  Failure to do so may result in a citation or additional action.

See Chapter 19 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic.

A Visitor Residential Permit is available.  Only one visitor permit is allowed per address. Find more information about a residential parking permit. 

You may apply by submitting a Residential Decal Application; however, you must be a resident of a designated residential zone in San Antonio. Find more information about a residential parking permit. 

Commercial Loading Zones function much like the City's metered parking system but are specifically designed for the loading and unloading of commercial vehicles with a valid permit. Find more information about obtaining a commercial decal. 

You may file an appeal with a Justice of the Peace Court that has jurisdiction over where your vehicle was originally towed.

Contact the 24-hour telephone number listed for removal of the boot.   Any time a vehicle is booted, a notice will also be present listing 1) the date and time the boot was installed, 2) the name, address and telephone number of the boot operator or company, 3) Any fees due or owed.

If Parking Enforcement towed your vehicle, please contact 210-207-SAPD (210-207-7273) and you will be advised of the location of your vehicle.

If your vehicle was towed for a parking violation/hazard, you will be subject to the price of the tow.  If your vehicle was towed due to unpaid parking tickets, you will be liable for the outstanding parking citations plus the cost of the tow.  If your vehicle instead was booted for unpaid parking tickets, there is an administrative fee in addition to the unpaid parking citations.

The two primary reasons vehicles are towed or booted are safety/unlawfulness and unpaid parking citations.
