The City of St. John’s provides private parking lot enforcements through the Parking Services Division. These private lots include condominiums, apartment buildings, hotels, garages, businesses and restaurants. The purpose of the private lot enforcement is provide enforcement to these private lots when it is deemed that there is an impact on their parking by outside sources and that they currently have no other mechanism to enforce their lot.

The City of St. John’s do not managed these lots nor do we issue parking permits. Majority of these lots are enforced on compliant basis only but we do have a few lots that we enforced regularly that are along our walking routes. There is no cost to the private lot owner to establish a private lot agreement with the City but in return the City received 100% of all ticket revenue. I am very interested in learning what other municipalities do in the way of private lot enforcement.
