Gaithersburg regulates street parking through Chapter 14 of the city code and a Residential Permit Parking program updated in 2025. Parking restrictions vary by street with posted signage. The RPP program requires permits for parking on designated residential streets.
Gaithersburg Chapter 14 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) governs all street parking regulations within city limits. Effective July 1, 2025, the city implemented a revised Residential Permit Parking (RPP) program and updated the Olde Towne Commercial Parking Pass program. Parking restrictions vary by street, and drivers must check posted signage for specific time limits, permit requirements, and restricted hours. The RPP program requires residents on designated streets to obtain parking permits, with separate provisions for visitor parking. Meters are enforced in the Olde Towne commercial district. The city operates a parking garage for public use. Street sweeping schedules may require temporary no-parking on designated days. Violations are enforced by Gaithersburg police and parking enforcement officers.
Street parking violations: parking citation with fines varying by infraction. Overtime meter violations in Olde Towne: standard citation. Parking without required RPP permit: citation.
