Multifamily parking management
Turn parking from a leasing-office headache into a managed, revenue-generating program. 5280 Parking runs resident and guest permits, license-plate enforcement, billing and reporting for multifamily communities — done for you, or self-serve with our OpenParking software.
What multifamily parking management actually covers
Multifamily parking management is the complete system a property uses to assign, bill and enforce parking across an apartment community, HOA or condo — so residents and their guests always have a spot, and non-residents stop taking spaces the property is paying for. A real program has five moving parts working together:
1. Permits
Resident, guest and reserved permits, issued online and by QR code, tied to license plates so there's nothing to hang on a mirror and nothing to counterfeit.
2. Enforcement
License-plate recognition and scheduled patrols that catch overstays and unauthorized vehicles — on the nights and hours your property actually has a problem, not a generic 9-to-5 window.
3. Signage & towing
Compliant signage installed before any enforcement begins, plus fire-lane and repeat-violator towing coordination handled correctly and legally.
4. Billing
Automated resident billing and renewals — collected from residents directly or billed to the property, with the money reconciled for you.
5. Reporting
A clear monthly picture per property: permits issued, citations, revenue and enforcement activity, so you can see the program working.
Full-service, or self-serve software
Same permit-and-enforcement engine — you choose how hands-on you want to be.
Full-service management
5280 Parking operates the entire program — officers, signage, towing coordination, billing and resident support. For qualifying properties it runs on a revenue-share basis with zero out-of-pocket cost. Best for communities that want parking off their plate entirely.
Self-serve software
Run it yourself with OpenParking — issue digital permits, take payment, and enforce by license plate from one dashboard. From $50/month, works anywhere in the US, no contract. Best for teams that have the staff and just want a modern system.
Built for every kind of multifamily community
We manage parking for apartment communities, homeowner and condo associations, townhome associations and student housing — from small self-managed properties to large professionally managed portfolios. The common thread: more cars than clearly-assigned spaces, guests who need somewhere to park, and non-residents quietly using the lot. A managed permit program fixes all three and turns the lot into an asset.
What managers say
"Through this successful partnership we have increased both guest satisfaction and incremental revenues."
"Our residents have given only positive feedback. The team goes above and beyond their normal scope of work."
"Professionalism, attention to detail and organization. They continue to be referred out."
Multifamily parking management questions
It's the complete system a property uses to assign, bill and enforce parking for residents and their guests across an apartment community, HOA or condo — permits, signage, enforcement, resident support and reporting, working together so the right people park in the right spots and the property captures the revenue.
