Merin Hunter Parking Permit

No - all Merin Hunter monthly tenant parking permits are virtual and associated with the vehicle's license plate number.

The parking enforcement specialists will search for any active permits linked to your vehicle's license plate number through our License Plate Recognition (LPR) system or their handheld device. If you receive a citation in error, please contact our Merin Hunter Billing Specialist at the contact information at the bottom of this webpage.

You are only required to provide the permit validation code and license plate numbers of the vehicles when purchasing the permits.

All permits must be purchased online through the parking permit portal only. The City accepts American Express, MasterCard, and Visa credit cards.

You will no longer receive monthly invoices for parking permits. All tenants will be responsible for purchasing their monthly parking permit at the beginning of each month. Those tenants who pay for validation codes will still receive a monthly invoice for those codes only.

For temporary parking placards, please reach out to Merin Hunter's office directly for assistance. Pay-by-Phone and the physical parking pay stations are also available as an alternative means to pay to park in City Hall garage.

Your employees may already have their license plate registered under a personal account; however, you can still add their license plate number to the business account you are creating. Simply select "Next" when that message appears to continue through the process of adding the license plate to the account.

City policy notes that all unpaid parking citations must be paid prior to purchasing parking permits from the City of Fort Lauderdale's Parking Services Department. Once the citation is paid in full, the system will allow you to proceed with payment. If there are any questions from employees on parking citations, please contact the City's Parking Services call center at (954) 828 -3700 for more information.
