Paid Beach Parking Scheduled to Begin May 18
Starting Monday, May 18, public parking at Indian Rocks Beach access points will transition to a paid parking system as part of a pilot program approved by the City Commission in February.
Visitors using public parking spaces at beach access points will be charged $4.50 per hour, with parking enforced 7 days a week from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
For our Indian Rocks Beach Property Owners/Residents, there is no cost for the Resident Parking Decal and there will be no change to your parking benefits. Property Owners/Residents with a properly displayed City-issued decal may continue to park free of charge in designated resident spaces or in paid parking spaces throughout the City. The only exception is the Pinellas County Beach Access Park, where county parking rules apply.
The City will utilize the ParkMobile app for convenient payment. Visitors are encouraged to download the app in advance to make parking quick and easy when arriving at the beach.
To help keep parking accessible and orderly, the City has increased fines for parking violations, from $75 to $100, for issues such as parking in “No Parking” areas or failing to pay for required parking.
Based on the success and review of the Paid Parking Pilot Program, the City of Indian Rocks Beach will be looking at expanding paid parking to other areas of the City, including Public Parks.
Resident decals must be permanently affixed to the exterior rear of the vehicle in a visible location.
The decal is vehicle and license plate specific. If found on another vehicle or plate other than it was applied for, it may result in a fine in addition to the confiscation of the decal.
City of Indian Rocks Beach Residents can complete the following application and bring it, along with the required documents, to City Hall to help expedite the process.
