Additional rules for parking permit holders can be found here:
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:
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.
Motorcycles may share a parking stall, but each motorcycle must pay to park using the Pay by Plate meters or App.
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.
The rules for disabled parking requirements for private parking lots can be complicated. The Dover Parking Bureau can help you find answers to most questions.
