Here are some common parking rules to help keep streets safe, accessible, and easy to use. The updated parking code also includes rules for RVs, trailers, heavy vehicles, and alternative fueling spaces.

For full details visit: Ch. 6.20 Parking | Bend Code.

Park your car so it faces the same direction as traffic. Backing into angled spaces isn’t allowed.

Don’t leave your car on a public street or in a city-owned lot for more than 72 hours. If you’re planning a trip, park off-street or ask someone to move your car.

We want parking to be easy and accessible. If you have a valid ADA placard (issued by Oregon or another state), here’s what you need to know:

  • If you park in a space designated for 30 minutes or less, you need to move your car within that time limit.
  • In gated garages, you’ll still need to pay to exit.
  • If you park in an ADA space labeled specifically for wheelchair access you need to have Wheelchair User placard.
  • Safety rules still apply! Don’t park:
    • In “No Parking” zones
    • In front of fire hydrants
    • On sidewalks or anywhere that blocks access.

Questions: Call 541-317-3100 ext. 3 or email parking@bendoregon.gov.

Parking on city streets is free, but time limits apply. Check posted signs for the allowed time in each zone. When your time is up, move your car at least one block.

Need more time? The Downtown Parking Garage is a great option – it’s usually available and costs just $1 per hour, making it one of the most affordable parking options in town.

Overtime parking fines start at $12 and increase if unpaid after 6 and 10 days.

Yellow and red curbs mean No Parking.

Parking in these areas may result in a parking ticket or other enforcement action.

Our Parking Compliance Officers (PCOs) are here to help you. They work for the City of Bend through a contractor and wear uniforms so they’re easy to recognize. These officers are approved by the Chief of Police to make sure parking rules are followed.

What do they do?

  • Answer your questions and provide helpful information about parking and downtown.

  • If your paid time expires, you may receive a ticket.
  • In many cases, you can add more time to your parking session before it expires.
