New Parking System

Hometeam manages over 2,000 parking spaces across the University District and Short North neighborhoods.

Just a few years ago, parking registration was completely analog: residents had to visit our office in person to sign a lot-specific agreement if a space was available. Two years ago, we transitioned to a more convenient online system. While this improved the process, it didn’t solve every issue.

One major problem was lot-specific congestion. Even though we only issued passes for the number of spaces available in each lot, any Hometeam pass holder could still park in any Hometeam lot. This led to residents returning home late and finding no open spaces and without an immediate resolution. Our towing partners help enforce permit-only access, but they can’t monitor every lot in real time.

Another common frustration occurred when lots sold out. Registration would revert to a manual process, requiring staff assistance to locate nearby alternatives: a time-consuming and inefficient experience for everyone.

Our new solution for the 2025–2026 lease year changes that.

Residents will now have access to a universal parking map and a tiered pass system that allows for parking in multiple lots, depending on the pass level selected. 

This new system aims to:

1. Simplify and speed up parking registration.
2. Offer flexible options if your closest lot is full.
3. Provide a wider range of parking choices across our entire portfolio.
   

This transition has been a significant effort, but we’re confident it will lead to a smoother and more reliable parking experience. 

We appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy the benefits of the new system.

If you’ve already secured a Tandem space, you’re all set and no action is needed.

If you registered for any other lot, you will need to re-register under the new system and select the tier that best fits your needs.

The live map is available here. Please remember to bookmark it to easily check lot designations and availability at any time.

Great question. We urge you to examine the detailed parking map to choose the right combination of lots for your daily routine.

• Red passes park in Red lots only
• Silver passes park in Red + Silver lots
• Black passes can park in any lot

‍Keep in mind, demand for certain lots often exceeds availability and having multiple lot options increases your flexibility plus reduces parking stress.

Most single-family homes with private parking do not need a pass. However, if any resident would like access to other Hometeam lots, a pass may be purchased.

No, parking is not guaranteed in one specific lot. However, the tiered system provides you with access to multiple designated lots. We recommend bookmarking the parking map and using it as a live reference if your preferred lot is full.

Yes, only Tandem spaces are assigned. These offer two back-to-back spots and come with two hanging tags.
