​Clearwater Offers 50 Percent Parking Discount For City Residents

CLEARWATER, FL — Starting this month, qualified residents living in the Clearwater city limits may be eligible to receive 50 percent off parking anywhere in Clearwater through Parkmobile, in addition to a waived 35-cent transaction fee.

To participate in the discount program, residents need to register by clicking here.

Once an account is created, the user must upload a Florida vehicle registration for each vehicle and a Florida driver's license that shows a Clearwater address, along with two other documents proving city residency:

A current voter's identification card showing the "CITY" as "CW."

Any utility bill less than 30 days old that shows your name and a city of Clearwater address as the service address. This can be an electric, telephone, water or cable bill.

A current tax bill or notice in your name showing a city of Clearwater address.

A notarized or registered deed, mortgage or lease showing your name as the owner or occupant at that city of Clearwater address.

A notarized statement from an adult relative that you are a full-time resident in their home and any other two proofs from above showing that your home is in the city of Clearwater.

Mail with a postmark less than 30 days old showing a city of Clearwater address.

"The residents have been telling us they felt like the parking rates were getting too high and pricing them out in favor of the tourists," said parking manager Jeremy Alleshouse. "We want the residents of Clearwater to know we're listening, and we hope this new program shows how much we want our residents to be included in what is going on in downtown and at the beach."

Discounts and transaction fee waivers will be valid for one year, at which time Parkmobile will review the account and confirm the person's continued residency.
