Parking takes up some of the most valuable land in the City of Hallandale Beach and it is the single biggest land use in our City. 

Free parking in the City has only been free to the person parking in the space, not to the City   That free space you are used to using costs money.  Parking Industry Experts rely on the International Parking Institute for research and that research indicates each space costs at least $400 annually to maintain.  The cost of one person’s free parking, which includes the cost of the land, pavement, street cleaning, and other related services, is actually subsidized by the rest of the City taxpayers.
