Oxford adopts new parking fee structure as garage gates go live
Summary
Council adopted Resolution #1417 updating the 2026 fee schedule to match the newly launched cashless parking garage system (QR/mobile payments). Changes include separate garage and lot permits, a $20 combined permit option, $10 replacement fees for QR/PIN, and a $25 lost ticket fee (higher for repeat offenses). The council also lowered minor‑work permit fees to a $100 flat rate.
Oxford Borough Council formally amended its 2026 fee schedule on March 2, 2026, to reflect the activation of a new cashless parking garage and related permit changes under Resolution #1417.
Manager Pauline Garcia‑Allen told council the garage gates went live that day; the system uses QR tickets and mobile/credit card payments at the gate. The Borough updated online parking maps and instructions; staff assisted permit holders during the rollout. Resolution #1417 creates separate permit types for garage and surface lots, offers a combined permit for an additional $20 to cover administrative and enforcement costs, and adds a $10 physical scan card fee and a $10 replacement fee for QR codes or PINs to reduce sharing. The council approved a $25 lost ticket fee for first offenses, rising to $50 for repeat incidents.
The fee schedule change also lowered permit costs for non‑structural work — simple roof, window, siding, or door replacements — to a $100 flat fee, replacing a prior valuation‑based calculation. Council voted to adopt the resolution; minutes record the motion carried.
