Salt Lake City considers raising costs of metered parking, minimizing free time
SALT LAKE CITY () — Parking in downtown Salt Lake City may start making a bigger dent in your wallet.
As part of the city budget for the 2026 fiscal year, the Salt Lake City Council is considering changing the hourly rates for metered parking throughout the city, as well as the collection days and hours.
Currently, metered parking is available at just $2.25 an hour. The city collects this fee between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. On Saturday, the parking is free for two hours, while on Sunday, parking is free for the whole day.

Under the proposed changes, the hourly rate for metered parking would rise to $3.50 an hour. The proposal would also take away the two free hours on Saturday and extend the collection hours from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Sunday would keep its free parking.
The Salt Lake City Council will next meet on Tuesday, June 10, at 1 p.m. for a work session, where the calendar includes considering unresolved issues. A formal City Council meeting will be held at 7 p.m., where council members will consider adopting the proposed budget.
