Parking
Hello Hyattsville Parking Customers! The City of Hyattsville has a "Pay-By-Plate" system in all City owned lots. Additionally, all Residential Permits are identified by license plate.
What does this mean? Instead of having to enter your parking space number into the pay station, you will now be prompted to enter your license plate number. Simply enter your plate number at the pay station or the Passport phone app, pay, and be on your way to shopping and dining in downtown Hyattsville! No Residential Parking stickers are needed.
The City of Hyattsville accepts coin, credit card, and pay-by-phone at all metered parking locations. You can also download the Passport Parking App or pay through Google Maps using your phone.

Disability Parking
Parking Meters that display the blue “Handicapped Accessible” logo on the meter, means the meter itself is of the proper dimensions to be accessible for a handicapped patron. It does not mean the space is reserved for handicapped parkers. There is no free parking at parking meters or pay-stations in Hyattsville. All Hyattsville meters and pay-stations are in effect during their posted hours of operation and are to be paid for the time parked whether the vehicle has a handicapped placard or not.
Residents with disabilities may apply to have a parking space on the street near their home reserved. Some restrictions apply, and an application must first be submitted to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). If a reserved parking space is no longer needed, the resident may request that it be removed, also by contacting the MVA at (410) 768-7646.
