Customers purchase parking time at a pay-station or by using a mobile app.
Purchase time is tied to your license plate. An electronic receipt can be sent via text message or email. Payment is required, even if the closest pay-station is broken or app is not working. Please go to a nearby pay-station or use another mobile app to pay. Payment is required in City of Hood River Pay to Park spaces Monday-Saturday, from 8am-6pm, excluding federal holidays.

PARKING APPS
It is very important to review all your parking details before purchasing your time. Parking session cannot be adjusted once confirmed. If Parking Enforcement Officers are not able to match the license plate on your vehicle with the transaction data, you will receive a citation.
After you purchase a parking session you can move spaces within downtown pay to park area. At short-term meters, it is unlawful to extend the parking time beyond the designated limit for parking in the metered space.
