The City of Key West has made renewal very easy - renew online! Just go to the City of Key West website Parking Department page and click the "purchase parking permits" on the left side of the page. Your permit will be mailed to you. The cost of the permits remains the same as last year: $39.13 for a full year of parking.
The 2025 Residential Parking Permits are valid through the end of the month.
Residential permits allow parking in the spaces marked "Residential" in the historic neighborhoods and grant a 4-hour free parking credit once a day in select City lots.
Applicants will need to upload proof of residency, a valid driver's license, and vehicle registration to qualify for a residential permit.
In addition to ensuring that residents can park in the marked residential spaces, the permit allows for free parking for up to four hours, one time per day, by redeeming that time at the pay station or in the app. The free extra parking is available in the following lots:
• Fire Station #2 in the 600 block of Simonton - Zone 33054
• Key West Bight main lot in the 800 block of Caroline - Zone 33046
