Pay-by-Plate Kiosk
Campus Map with Pay-by-Plate Kiosk Locations
If you are visiting UNF during the parking enforcement time frame, a parking permit is required to park on campus. Our system is based on virtual permits, where you register your vehicle's license plate to be the virtual permit.
Single-day permits can be purchased using one of the 14 conveniently located Pay-by-Plate kiosks or online through the Flowbird app.
Debit or credit card is the only acceptable form of payment.
| Type | Cost | Parking Location | Avoid Parking In |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue | $5 | Inner core (Blue Lots) of campus | Spaces marked Reserved, Faculty/Staff and Housing |
| Gray | $2 | Perimeter (Gray Lots) of campus | Blue Lot spaces, spaces marked Reserved, Faculty/Staff and Housing |
The permits are valid only for the calendar day you purchased it, not for a 24-hour period from the time that it was purchased. A Consecutive Multi-day Permit is not available; you must purchase a visitor permit each day you park on campus.
Once you have purchased a visitor permit, it is non-refundable.
