Find parking inMiami Beach

Most metered street spaces, municipal lots, and city garages in Miami Beach use pay‑by‑phone systems instead of coins or paper tickets. ParkMobile is one of the city’s official payment options and lets you start a session by entering the zone number from posted signs, your license plate, and the amount of time you want. You can also book eligible garages and lots in advance through ParkMobile so you arrive with a confirmed space instead of searching when you get there.

Miami Beach sets different hourly rates for on-street meters, surface lots, and city garages, with higher prices in busy areas like South Beach and lower rates in some residential or North Beach zones. You can check current rates for specific garages and metered areas on the City of Miami Beach parking website or directly in the ParkMobile app when you select a zone. Using ParkMobile lets you see the exact rate and total cost before you start your session so there are no surprises.

At many city-operated garages and metered areas in Miami Beach, you can start and manage your parking session remotely using ParkMobile instead of paying at a meter or kiosk. Some gated or garage facilities that use ParkMobile allow you to begin your session as you arrive and extend it from your phone within posted time limits. This makes it easier to plan your visit, avoid lines at pay stations, and adjust your end time without returning to your vehicle.

Miami Beach has thousands of metered on-street spaces with posted signs that specify the hours of enforcement, maximum stay, and any special rules for that block. Many of these meters can be paid by license plate using ParkMobile, which lets you choose the correct zone number from the sign, pay from your phone, and receive alerts before time expires so you can extend your session if allowed. It is important to park head-in where required, stay within the marked lines, and obey all time limits to avoid citations or towing.

Large parts of Miami Beach are designated Residential Parking Zones that are reserved for vehicles with a valid city residential permit during posted hours. Visitors without a residential permit must not park in spaces marked for permit holders only and should instead use metered spaces, public lots, or garages that they can pay for using ParkMobile. Checking street signs carefully and confirming the zone in the ParkMobile app helps you avoid accidentally parking in a permit-only area and risking a ticket or tow.
