How much does a Parking Permit cost and what are the benefits?
There are two quarterly parking permit programs. One for the area east of Spring Street, called the East-End Program, and another for the area west of Spring Street, called the La Mesa Boulevard Lot Program.


The East-End Program offers either a $40 permit that provides access to approximately 125 parking spaces, or a $60 permit that provides access to 229 spaces in five different parking areas.

The La Mesa Boulevard Lot Program offers access to 31 spaces in the municipal parking lot located on the south side of La Mesa Boulevard, just west of Acacia Avenue.

You can find permit applications, maps of parking areas, and a guide to permit parking policies and procedures on the City's website.
