All license plates are synched through our enforcement platform in real-time. Parking control officers will be able to know if a vehicle has an active or expired permit. All vehicles in violation at any given time will be ticketed.

If you are a permit holder and previously paid your monthly invoices on payments.abm.com, please make sure to remove your auto pay or payment information as this site will no longer be used for permit holders. All permit purchases must be done through our new permit portal. 

Parking enforcement hours at all sites are Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Residential Parking permits are available through our payment portal.

Proof of residence is required to obtain a permit. If you have a current permit, you must re-establish it with our new system and apply (again) online for 2021. After (12/31/2020), the residential parking permit stickers will no longer be valid. Only residents with vehicles listed in our new system will have permission to park on-street in these districts after (1/31/2021).

Using a Monthly Parking Permit

Monthly parking permits are valid for the designated parking location only from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Parking in any Municipal lot is free after 5pm and weekends except on event days.

Parking Monthly Passes (Available for Garage Parking only) offer unlimited 24/7 access to a designated parking garage. Monthly parking rates are not prorated; take advantage of our annual parking program and receive a 10% discount when you prepay for parking for the whole year. This program is available until the end of January of every year.

Parking Agreement

A monthly parking permit guarantees parking availability for you in the garage or lot, with no assigned parking stalls. Permit holders should park in the particular lot the permit was issued for and ‘’Reserved” Parking signs are posted. Parking in the wrong parking lot is a violation and violators will be fine.

Monthly parking permits require a minimum of a 30-day agreement in order to park in any City lot. ABM requires a written cancellation notice, at least 30 days in advance of the date you wish to discontinue participation in the monthly parking program. The notice may be completed in person or sent to parkrockford@abm.com . Garage Keycards are property of ABM Parking Services and must be returned to ABM Parking Services within 5 business days of termination, otherwise a $25.00 fee will be charged to customer.
