PARKING FEE INCREASE
9/10/2025
In June of this year the Town discussed increasing the parking fee from $5.00 to $7.00. An analysis of paid parking trends indicated that Jerome’s fee was substantially lower than any other paid parking program, and it lasts all day. As of now, the one fee of $7.00 will continue to cover the entire day. A notice of intent to increase fees was published for two consecutive weeks along with the report on the proposed fee increase and changes.
The increased fees will begin on October 1st, 2025. There has been no increase in the number of paid parking spaces. Please keep in mind we continue to have more free parking spaces throughout the Town of Jerome than paid parking spaces. Since the inception of the paid parking program, the revenues after covering program costs have provided our public safety team with more equipment and tools to help them carry out their jobs in as safe a manner as possible, along with helping fund much needed projects that would not otherwise have been completed. These projects include the recent paving efforts in the middle parking area, water line improvements, and drainage improvement projects.
