USE PARKMOBILE APP FOR PAY-BY-PHONE OPTION
The City of Dover utilizes ParkMobile to allow customers to pay for on-street and municipal metered parking areas through their smart phone.
Download the ParkMobile directly from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Using a general search engine may suggest fake, look-a-like websites. The icon should look like the one on the right.
Once the app is downloaded, set up an account and select a parking lot or the on-street option. The system will send you a text reminder when your parking session is about to expire. You can extend your stay from the app, wherever you are. There is a 30 cent fee to use the app in addition to the metered parking rate.
In the garage, open the app and enter your space number to pay for parking. Now, in addition to the garage, you can pay for specific parking lots, as well any on-street parking spaces, directly from the app.
When using the app for parking locations with the progressive pricing structure (including all on-street locations and the Belknap, Orchard and Indoor Pool Lots), if you do not extend your parking session before it expires, you will not be able to use the app for an hour. You would need to use a street meter instead.
The city's parking officers use a cell phone to confirm paid parking.
