Welcome to the Downtown Marquette Parking System. Rental permits are available from the Downtown Development Authority. By purchasing a parking permit in downtown and parking in “rental permit designated lots” you are contributing to the well-being of downtown First, you are saving the best spaces for your customers and clients and allowing them to find convenient parking. The experts tell us that the annual value of one customer parking space is $70,000 in retail sales to downtown businesses. Secondly, all parking rental revenue is used to maintain and improve the lots and walkways in downtown. The DDA maintains and manages 8 parking lots in the downtown district. Five of the lots are shared between rental (long-term) parkers and short-term customer/visitor parking. Several are dedicated for either customer only or rental permit only parking.

The permit allows you to park your car for the day in any of the parking lots designated as “Rental Permit Parking.” The rates are $20/month (.93¢ a day) and are invoiced quarterly. (Part-time permits (buddy passes) can also be purchased on a limited basis) New Permits are issued every six months.

As a “thank you” for your support of Downtown Marquette on the last day of each calendar quarter, a random permit number will be drawn and the winner will receive $20 in Downtown Dollars and a basket of downtown goodies. Your parking account must be current to qualify.

Once again, thank you for parking where it makes “cents” and for helping keep Downtown strong.
