What faculty and staff need to know after they buy a permit.

Just owning a permit isn’t good enough. You must display your hanging permit on the front rearview mirror with the permit number visible and facing out or permanently affix your decal to the lower, driver-side corner of the front windshield.

(For safety's sake, take the hanging permit down before you drive off.)

Common sense will tell you that you can’t park on the grass or in a spot that is specially marked. If you don’t display your permit correctly or if you park in a space for which you do not have a permit, you will likely get a ticket. Click here for fines and late fees.

If you no longer need your parking permit.

If you terminate employment with the University or other circumstances result in you no longer requiring a UNF parking permit, if you selected the regular pay deduction method to pay for your parking permit you can return your permit and deductions will cease following your next pay. If the permit is not returned upon terminating employment with the University, the remaining amount owed to cover the annual price will be deducted from your final pay. If the permit is not returned upon termination and the final pay does not cover the amount owed, the remaining amount owed will be immediately due and payable in full. No refund is available after termination. No refund is available if you chose to pay for your permit with cash or with a one-time pay deduction.

Pay your ticket within 14 days.

Pay your ticket and that’s that. If you don’t pay it within 14 calendar days, late fees and other penalties, including administrative action and vehicle immobilization, may be assessed. Click here for the complete regulations.

Don’t get the boot.

Collect three unpaid tickets or nine tickets in a calendar year and your vehicle will likely be booted and maybe even towed – at your expense. Your vehicle may also be booted or towed if you park in a no parking zone, service area, fire lane, Lot 7, a reserved, restricted or disability space or if you obstruct traffic and create a safety hazard. This definitely applies to vehicles displaying stolen, forged or lost permits.
