The City of Tallahassee owns two public parking garages and two surface lots. Real Estate Management oversees operations of all these facilities, although they are actually operated by Republic Parking, a parking-management firm. On-street parking is managed by Real Estate Management, with enforcement by Tallahassee Police Department.
For locations of the facilities, please refer to the Downtown Parking website or the Gaines Street Parking Map (PDF). You can also download the Gaines Street Parking Brochure (PDF) for more information on parking in the area.
