QUESTION: Can a condo association charge visitors to park on the common area? We only have
26 guest parking spots. Yet, we turn about 125 visitors a day and have
daily arguments about parking availability.
ANSWER:
The association manages guest parking for the benefit of the
membership. If the demand is greater than the supply of spaces, charging for
parking will help reduce demand to a manageable level and provide income to the
association. It is no different than cities installing parking meters. So, yes,
you can charge for guest parking. Implementation may be a problem, however.
