South First St. Parking Changes  - Frequently Asked Questions

When will these parking changes be implemented?

We should see the first signs going up this fall (Oct./Nov) The city has prioritized Gibson Street, due to the significant impact of pedestrian and vehicular traffic from de Nada.   This includes the 600, 700 and 800 blocks of W. Gibson. We are hoping all the other streets will be complete by the end of the first quarter of 2027.  The timeline is completely dependent on the City

Which streets will be affected?

(See the color-coded map) 

The GREEN areas are hybrid parking. The ORANGE areas are employee parking, the RED is no parking. BLUE is permit only and PINK is drop off (Uber, Waymo, etc).

Do I have to pay for a parking permit?

Residents living on streets where Hybrid parking will be installed will receive two free resident parking permits per household. 

How do I get a Parking Permit? 

Residents living on streets where Hybrid parking will be installed will receive two free resident parking permits per household.  These permits will be available at the time the parking changes are made.  All the permitting will be online on the City’s parking app and/or website. You will not be issued a physical permit to put on your vehicle.  City of Austin Parking Permit Page

How do I get Guest Passes?

The City has a website with more information on obtaining residential permits and guess passes.

What if I have more than 2 cars in my household?

Residences located within a Hybrid Parking Area (a mixed-use area blending Pay-to-Park with RPP) are entitled to two (2) RPP Resident Vehicle Permits at no cost upon request. If you have more than two cars at your residence that need to park on the street, there are two types of yearly permits you can purchase for Residents and  Visitors:

RPP Resident Vehicle Permits – digital permits registered to your vehicle's license plate. (These are designed for the main cars at the residence and can be changed out instantly on the City app). So for example, if you have 3 cars at your house but you also have a driveway, any of the cars that park in the driveway won’t need a parking pass. Only cars on the street will need one.

RPP Visitor (Additional Resident) Hangtag Permits – physical hangtags displayed inside the vehicle's windshield.

  • Each residence may purchase up to four (4) RPP Resident Vehicle Permits at tiered prices (starting at $60/yr and going up to $90/yr)

  • No more than two (2) RPP Visitor Hangtag Permits can be purchased per residence.

What if I have a driveway and don’t park on the street?

If you normally park in your driveway you can use your two free digital parking passes for guests who may park on the street. Because the permits are all online and easy to switch out, you can easily add and delete license plates as needed.

What do I do for my yard company or other service people who come to my house (pest control, pool cleaners, mowers, electrician, plumbers, etc)

If any contractors are working at your house and their truck is clearly marked as a business, they should not be ticketed while in your hybrid or permit areas.

Do we (BCNA) have to pay for these new signs and enforcement out of our PTMD funds?

The planned expansion does not require the use of SoCo PTMD funds generated from parking fees. 

How were the streets and areas designated?

In August of 2026, the City Parking Enterprise staff and the SoCo PTMD BCNA representatives walked the Western intersections off South First Street.  We identified several changes that are needed to improve traffic flow and improve safety for pedestrians and vehicles entering the neighborhood.  Most of these include moving vehicle parking well off the intersections.  The city staff indicated the first phase of the expansion would take place from W. Gibson to Johanna Street.  Additional streets include S. 2nd, S. 3rd, Jewell Street to 3rd and W. Live Oak.  Additional street Hybrid parking will begin in 2027. (See the color-coded map) 

We will have additional meetings with the city and we are hoping to expand the blocks and streets affected as needed.
