Welcome to the Barre City Parking Information page. 

There are several types of parking within the city. There are parking meters on streets as well as in designated city parking lots. There are also lots dedicated to the employees of City Place and Blanchard Block from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. excluding weekends and holidays.  These vehicles will display the appropriate parking permit in their vehicle while parked in their respective lot. They must park in their assigned lot to avoid a parking violation.

Parking meters are in use Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.  Parking in Barre is free after 5 pm, on weekends, and on public holidays.

Parking fees for EV Charging stations are $2/hr payable through ParkMobile only, regardless of vehicle plugged in/charging, applicable at all times including evenings and weekends. $25 fine for noncompliance.

Day time and Overnight parking permits may be purchased at the City Clerk's Office.  See the Parking Permit Policy for details.

Parking Enforcement falls under Barre City Ordinance Chapter 17 Traffic, specifically Division 3; Parking, Standing, Stopping.  The fines, for parking violations, are listed in the City Fee Schedule which can be viewed in the Document Library.
