Can Pompano Beach residents get a beach parking permit?

Short answer

As of 2026, the City of Pompano Beach's parking FAQ states that resident parking permits are currently suspended. Residents can instead register for a 20% discounted resident rate that works only through the PayByPhone app and must be renewed every year with proof of residency.

Is the Pompano Beach resident permit still available?

The city's parking FAQ answers the question of who qualifies for a resident permit with a short statement: resident permits are currently suspended. The same FAQ says residential permits do not allow overnight parking.

Some city pages still mention permit holders. For example, the on-street parking page says monthly and resident permit holders may use their permit at the Oceanside Lot from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Because the pages differ, confirm the current status with the Parking Office before you count on a permit.[1][4]

How do you sign up for the 20% resident rate?

Pompano Beach offers residents an annual 20% discount on the parking rate, applied only when you pay through the PayByPhone app.

  • Proof of Pompano Beach residency is required, such as a current utility bill or a lease agreement.
  • Apply online through the city's residential parking application and upload your documents, or apply in person at the Pier Garage Office, 3460 NE 3rd Street.
  • The discount must be renewed every year.[2][3][1]

What are the beach parking rules and rates?

Parking in Pompano Beach is enforced 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and beach parking is not allowed from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. If you need to park overnight on the barrier island, the FAQ says you can pay by the hour in the Pier Garage.

As of 2026, meter rates vary by zone and day: weekday rates run $1.50 to $2.50 an hour, weekend rates $1.80 to $3.25, and holiday or event rates $2.15 to $4.00. You can pay with PayByPhone, Passport Parking or at the meter.

  • Monthly overnight hangtag: $75 a month, valid only in the Oceanside Lot (100 N. Riverside Drive).
  • Pier Garage monthly permits: $100 for the rooftop and $150 for levels 2 to 4.
  • Disabled parking placards: free for the first four hours in a marked space, then the hourly rate applies.[1][4]
