ATHENS, Ohio — The City of Athens announces that starting Monday, May 18, the Athens City Parking Garage, 15 E. Washington St., will be using a new payment system.

How It Works

Payment options at pay stations:
- Cash.
- Validation coupon.
- Credit card (small processing fee applies).
Forgot to pay at a pay station?
You may still pay at the exit gate, using credit card only.
Important notes
- Lost or misplaced tickets will result in an additional fee.
- Be sure to keep your ticket with you.
Parking rates
- $1 per hour up to 10 hours.
- $20 daily, over 10 hours; resets every 24 hours.
