How the ParkNOW! System Works

Using ParkNOW! is EASY! To register, simply click on the registration link HERE or call the Help/Registration Desk. Then call the local pay by cell phone number to start your parking session. You can now also use our new text-to-park feature!

To Start Parking

  1. Call the local pay by cell phone number with your cell phone which is listed on the meter sticker or nearby sign.
  2. You wil be prompted to enter the meter, space, or zone number.
  3. Next select the amount of time you wish to park.
  4. You will receive voice and text messages confirming the start of your parking session. Note: Time will not appear on your meter in
  5. You will be charged a small transaction fee, generally 25 cents, for each parking transaction.
  6. In some locations you can call the same number back to terminate your parking session and pay only for actual time parked.


Text-To-Park ®

If you prefer text messaging or have a hearing disablility you can use a text message to stop/start your parking sessions. Just text the command Park followed by the location (city) and space number to 32075. For Montgomery County use MC, for Decatur use Decatur, and for Hudson use Hud1 for the location. Examples follow for each location :

  1. Park MC 57123 to 32075 (Park in Montgomery County, space number 57123)
  2. Park Decatur 720 to 32075 (Park in Decatur, space number 720)
  3. Park Hud1 190 to 32075 (Park in Hudson, space number 190)

You must stop the parking session by sending the following message:
    Park End to 32075
If you do not send the Park End message your parking session will automatically end when the maximum allowable parking time is reached. For customers in Hudson, this is one day (24 hours).
