Leesburg Debuts New Automated Payment System in Town
Hall Parking Garage
Hours of operation and rates unchanged.
Leesburg, VA (April 11, 2018) – The newly installed automated payment system at the Town
Hall Parking Garage will go into operation on Monday, April 23, 2018.
The hours of operation for paid parking remain Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m. However, the merchant validation program has been discontinued and replaced with an
additional hour of free parking for all patrons. Parking rates also remain the same, with the
exception of the additional hour of free parking. The first two hours are free and each
additional hour (or portion of an hour) is $1.00 with a $10.00 daily maximum.
With the new system, entry and exit gates will always be down, and drivers will have to take
tickets to enter the garage at all times. Drivers should take their tickets with them and pay at
one of three pay stations before exiting the garage. After paying, drivers will insert tickets into
the exit kiosks and the gates will rise, allowing them to exit. Drivers will have 15 minutes from
time of payment to exit the garage without additional charges. All pay stations will accept credit
and debit cards. The pay station by the parking garage elevator will accept cash payments in
addition to credit and debit payments.
Drivers will be able to exit onto either Market Street or Loudoun Street , and the exit kiosks will
accept credit and debit card payments. A future enhancement to the new system will be
automated “Lot Full” signs at both entrances.
