Public Pay Parking

The FlexParking system is a pay by license plate system.  Much like a password, your license plate number must be entered correctly for the system to know you've paid for parking.  Without a plate number, or with an incorrect plate number, Parking Enforcement officers cannot confirm you have paid to park your vehicle in a public space. They cannot search for a similar plate number or confirm your payment with the wrong information.  Vehicles with license plate numbers that have no valid record of payment will be ticketed.

If you have a temporary permit for your vehicle, enter the last 10 digits on the permit for the system to know you've paid for parking. Without a permit number, or with an incorrect permit number, Parking Enforcement officers cannot confirm you have paid to park your vehicle in a public space. They cannot search for a similar permit number or confirm your payment with the wrong information. Vehicles with temporary permits that have no valid record of payment will be ticketed.

Both the FlexParking pay stations and the Parkedin app accept payment from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Payments made before 9:00 a.m. will be held until 9:00 a.m., so you can pay for the needed 30 minutes of paid parking at 8:30 a.m.

No. Just like with old coin meters, there are no refunds for unused time that has been purchased.

That said, your FlexParking purchase is valid in any metered parking space across Saskatoon. If you have unused time left on your paid session, you can park in any other FlexParking area until it expires.  Remember parking time limits vary by location and your session does not pause while you are driving.

Parking cards are available for purchase at the City Hall Payment Centre (cashiers).

• The $5.00 fee is a non-refundable deposit fee. 
• Parking cards are re-loadable at the City Hall Payment Centre.
• You can check your card balance at https://epursebalance.com/2790
• City Parking cards can be used at City of Saskatoon FlexParking stations (not in the Parkedin app or online).
• City is not responsible for lost or stolen cards.  

Parking Enforcement will check the actual plate numbers displayed to identify which parked vehicles have paid for parking and which have not, at any given time. The paid parking session information is saved on a server and accessed by Parking Enforcement. To ensure you have a valid paid session, please enter the license plate number exactly as it is displayed on the vehicle license plate you have parked.

First, please be respectful to the officer. You may receive a paper ticket, but don’t worry! With verification of payment, an officer’s error can certainly be corrected at the time of the ticket or through the “Request to Review” (RTR) process.  Please call Customer Service at 306-975-2400 to initiate an RTR.

All parking tickets go through a review system where tickets that have been issued in obvious error are cancelled. We encourage you to wait 2 business days and then check if your ticket still holds by searching for your ticket number.

A receipt is not required to validate your transaction. Entering your correct license plate number, paying for your session, and confirming your transaction is all you have to do. If you do not want a receipt, simply follow the instructions on the display panel to skip this option.

If you require reimbursement from your employer or if you prefer to keep paper records of your transactions, a receipt may be useful to you. Simply follow the instructions on the display panel to print your receipt.

Yes. If you are paying with coin you'll need to use exact change, just like with old coin meters.

FlexParking stations will not calculate or give change for accepted purchases. For example, a $2 coin can only be used to purchase one hour of parking. The pay station will not give change if you wish to purchase less than an hour with a $2 coin.

FlexParking stations are outfitted with a coin return slot for coins that aren't recognized by the machine. If you try to pay with change that doesn't register time, please check the coin return slot below the instruction panel.

If you find that a pay stations terminal is not functioning, please use the Parkedin app, scan the QR code on the pay station to pay on the mobile site or go to another pay station, as vehicles that have not paid for parking will be ticketed.  A pay station being out of service does not mean you do not have to pay for parking. 

Parking in Saskatoon is one zone fits all!  Zone 1333 is used for all City of Saskatoon paid parking locations throughout the Downtown, Broadway, Riversdale and Sutherland areas, and adjacent to City Hospital and St. Paul’s Hospital.  The zone number will automatically be displayed if your phone’s location services are turned on.  If not, enter either "City of Saskatoon Pay Parking" or "1333" in the search bar.  After you’ve used the app once, the zone number will be stored in your “recent” zones. 

No, enter your plate information without spaces.

No. Once you have completed your first transaction on the Parkedin app it will remember your payment information. 

Yes, payments made using the Parkedin™ mobile app and web-based platform undergo secure and certified payment processing complying with level-1 (highest level) Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards.

Users are unable to change parking transaction details once the parking session has been confirmed. Please take care to enter your information correctly under “Manage account” and then be diligent to ensure you’ve selected the correct info before confirming the purchase.  If you have parked under the wrong location or vehicle license plate, please start a new transaction with the correct details. Payment with an incorrect plate could result in a valid parking ticket.

If your Parkedin parking session is about to expire, you can top up your time through the Parkedin app. The app will notify you before time is about to expire (make sure you turn on notifications in your phone settings).  Click on the “Extend” option and select the increased time.  Remember parking is limited to a maximum amount of time, which varies depending on location. Watch for signs!

If you paid for parking at a FlexParking station and your parking session is about to expire, you can start a new session through the Parkedin app. Simply start a new parking session and complete your transaction through the Parkedin app.

You can purchase a maximum of 3 hours per session using the Parkedin app. If you purchase 3 hours, the app does not allow for another paid session until the current one has expired. However, it is your responsibility to be aware of the parking time limits for the area in which your vehicle is parked. Please ensure alert notifications are enabled on the Parkedin app to remind you when a session is ending. 

This could be due to several reasons, for example:

• The card has expired.
• There is insufficient funds in your account to process the transaction.

Please check the expiry date on the registered card that you are using for the purchase. If the card has expired, delete it and add a valid card.

You will find receipts of your completed purchases in the menu on the top right, under “Transaction History”. The receipt can be sent to an email by clicking "Email receipt".

Your username is usually the email address you used when you registered your account. If not, please contact the Parkedin support team at on their website.

Check to ensure you have cellular data coverage or are connected to Wi-Fi. Some Wi-Fi access points require a log in, ensure you are logged in and have Wi-Fi access.  If this does not work, please make your way to an on-street FlexParking station.

This rare message may indicate the app server is current experiencing issues.  Please wait a moment and retry.  If you cannot complete the purchase, please make your way to an on-street FlexParking station.
