Home MenuPaid Parking Program
A new paid parking program is coming to Old Towne to improve parking availability, reduce congestion, and enhance the visitor experience.
On February 11, 2025, the Orange City Council adopted Ordinance 02-25 establishing parking zones, operations, fees, and procedures for paid parking in the Orange Plaza area, following a City-commissioned study that identified parking imbalance, congestion, and potential economic impacts. On June 24, 2025, the City Council awarded a parking management contract to ACE Parking.
The program will operate seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with hourly rates ranging from $1.25 to $2.00 depending on location. Paid parking will include both on-street and off-street spaces, with time limits of up to three hours. Free parking will remain available in many City-owned lots and the Lemon Street parking structure.
