Veteran Parking
The City of Dover provides three hours of free parking per day in two specific locations for those with Veteran license plates, provided the vehicle is operated by the person who qualified for the specialized plate. Free parking is not applicable in spaces designed for electric vehicle charging.
Those with Veteran license plates may use the following locations for free parking:
- Metered spaces in the Orchard Street parking garage.
- Metered spaces in the Fourth Street parking lot.
Those with Purple Heart, Gold Star or Prisoner Of War license plates also have three hours of free parking per day at any meter spaced downtown, except spaces designed for electric vehicle charging.
Motorcycle Parking Rules
Motorcycles may share a parking stall, but each motorcycle must pay to park using the Pay by Plate meters or App.
Accessible Parking Regulations
Parking is free for 3 hours per day for vehicles properly displaying a valid accessible parking plate or placard when the person qualified for the plate or placard is going to or from the vehicle. Longer stays require paid parking through the meter or pay-by-phone Flowbird app after the third hour. Misuse of a placard by non-qualified persons is a $250 fine.
