Can I park in any lot that is marked “Permit Parking Only”?

You can park in Permit Lots, but you will need to obtain a monthly parking permit for Canonsburg Police Parking Enforcement. You can contact an Officer directly at 724-745-8020 X 522. If we are not available please leave a voicemail and we will return the call as soon as possible. If you choose to park in a lot marked “Permit Parking Only”, the violation fee is $30.

What is the violation for not paying to park at a meter or parking kiosk?

If you choose to park in a monitored paid parking spot and not pay for parking, the violation is $10 if you receive a ticket while parked.

What if I am only running in a local business for 5 minutes to pick up my lunch etc?

All persons parking a vehicle in a monitored paid parking spot are expected to pay for their parking regardless of time spent in that spot. Parking lots are only $.50 to park for an hour which is very reasonable based on the national average for hourly parking fees which is $5.34 per hour for rural communities across the United States.
