Visitor Parking

There are four state-operated visitor lots: Lot 18 (Visitor Lot 1), located along Wilmington Street between Jones and Edenton streets; Deck 75 (Visitor Lot 2), located at 323 Salisbury Street; Deck 77 (Visitor Lot 3), located at the corner of Edenton and McDowell streets; Visitor Lot 4, located at the corner of Polk and N Wilmington streets.

Payment presented to the attendant for parking must be in cash or credit card only. No checks will be accepted.

Several other parking facilities near the Downtown State Government Complex are operated by private operators and local governments. Maps and information about these facilities is provided by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance.

Employees are not permitted in visitor lots unless authorized by State Parking, and only for reasons such as temporary displacement from their assigned parking area.

Departments may purchase parking passes for their visitors and board and commission members that are accepted in visitor parking lots. Requests must be made at least three business days in advance.

Passes are sold in two, four and eight-hour increments, at $2 per hour. Visitors using department-issued hourly or daily passes will be responsible for any amount over the value of the pass.

A departmental representative must complete and submit the Request for Visitor Parking Pass form. State Parking reserves the right to limit the number of passes sold.

Requests to use parking lots after hours on weekdays and weekends, must be approved by State Parking.
