​​Frequently Asked Questions

How will I get billed?

All permanent aircraft and vehicle parking permits are billed on a quarterly basis. Payment is due on the 1^st day of the first month of the quarter (January, April, July and October). If payment is not received by the 10^th day of the first month, you will receive a delinquent notice. If payment still has not been received, on the 1^st day of the second month of the quarter, the aircraft/vehicle will be impounded, which will include additional fees.

How do I cancel a parking permit?

If you no longer need your permanent parking space, please notify our office. A permit cannot be cancelled without notice from the permittee. If you cancel the permit before the end of the quarter, a pro-rated refund will be issued for the remaining days of the quarter unless in the last two weeks of the quarter.
