Metered Pay-by-Plate
The City of Deerfield Beach has implemented a Pay-by-Plate parking system. This system uses License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology. Simply enter your vehicle license plate number at one of the multi-space parking meters strategically located throughout the City. A Parking Enforcement Specialist with the Broward County Sheriff's Office, will scan the license plate using LPR technology to confirm payment of the patron's parking session.
Payments
The meters accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and coins. When paying with coins the hour must be completed. Certain meters do accept mixed payments (coins + credit card).
Way-To-Park Mobile App
The City of Deerfield Beach has partnered with Way-To-Park, a smartphone app that provides a touchless option for parking payments.
Now there is no need to run back to the meter, or search for coins – use Way-To-Park instead!
The app is available for download on iPhone and Android.
How To Use Way-To-Park
- Download the app on iPhone or Android and complete the registration process, including your plate number, credit card information and alerts.
- Pay for parking using the correct zone. You can find your zone by using the street signs behind the parking meter, entering the zone number in the search bar or panning the map.

- If you originally paid for parking at a metered pay-by-plate machine, and it's about to expire, you can start a new session by using the WAY-TO-PARK mobile app. Parking Enforcement Specialists will use your license plate number to verify that you have paid for parking.
***Please Note: There is a 35¢ convenience charge for every WAY-TO-PARK transaction.
Disabled Parking
Individuals occupying a designated handicap parking space must visibly display the handicap placard from the rearview mirror for the entire duration of their parking session.
Failure to visibly display the handicap placard will result in a parking citation that carries a fine amount of $250.00.
Individuals occupying a non-designated parking space must register the vehicle license plate at one of the multi-space parking meters. The maximum number of complimentary hours allowed is four (4). Anyone exceeding the four (4) complimentary hours will be required to pay the prevailing parking rates. Failure to register the license plate will result in a parking citation that carries a fine amount of $30.00.
Handicap spaces are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
*Please note: Four (4) hours of complimentary parking in non-designated parking spaces is ONLY available with on-street parking spaces.
Complimentary parking is not available in any parking lot.
