Here at UNF, all parking permits are virtual and linked to your license plate when you register your vehicle online through your Parking Account via  Web portal. It is critical to make sure your Parking Account has your correct license plate information listed. Enforcement is handled by vehicles equipped with license plate recognition cameras that drive through the lots scanning license plates. You'll need to park your vehicle "nose in" so your license plate is visible to the cameras.

Students who do not buy an annual or semester permit must purchase a visitor permit from our Pay-by-Plate kiosks. (Helpful hint: Take a picture of your tag and keep it on your phone for reference when needed.) Kiosks located within the core of campus sell $5.00 visitor permits and are valid for both Blue lot and Gray lot parking locations. Kiosks located in the perimeter lots such as 18 or 53 sell $2.00 visitor permits and are valid in Gray lot parking locations ONLY.

In combination with the Virtual Permit and Pay-by-Plate kiosks, a Pay-by-Phone application known as flowbird is available providing the opportunity to pay for your virtual parking permit by mobile phone. To get started you will need to download the flowbird phone app on your mobile phone or visit . For additional questions, please click on the visitor's link.

All annual and semester permits must be purchased online via  Web portal. The ability to purchase permits opens to students at different times in July depending on the number of completed credit hours and/or whether or not the student is commuting or living in University housing. Students must be registered for classes in order to purchase annual or semester permits. Please check the web site at the link noted above for more information.
