Parking Commission

Responsible for the operation and management of city-owned on and off-street parking facilities. Meter maintenance, construction parking permits, hang-tag applications.

_____________________________________________________________________

The Clarksville Parking Commission recently adopted a "First Hour Free" program, which supports all on-street metered parking downtown.  A sensor installed in the pavement will detect your vehicle as you arrive and will automatically populate the meter with an hour of free time.  You may then add additional time to the meter, up to a maximum of three hours.
