50th & France Parking Permits
The City owns and operates parking ramps on the Edina side of the 50th & France commercial area. Full-time, part-time and temporary employees working on the Edina side of the commercial area may purchase parking permits to park in designated areas.
Employee vehicles must have a valid permit and park in designated areas of the ramps so convenient parking is maintained for customers and clients.
Daily, quarterly, overnight and annual permits are available each year.
New for 2023
Nolan Mains residents can purchase a 10-pack of North Overnight Daily permits allowing overnight parking of guests in the designated overnight section of the North Ramp. Just have a pack handy and give one per night to each guest vehicle.

All employees of businesses in the 50th & France district who choose to park in the Edina parking ramps MUST display a valid permit and park in the designated areas of the parking ramps so that adequate parking remains available for customers.

-
"Premium" permits are issued for parking stalls in desirable locations but with access that can be confusing for customers to navigate. Premium permits are intended for full-time employees who generally work traditional business hours.
The number of Premium permits is limited to help ensure holders can find an available space during busy daytime hours.
Vehicles with a "premium" permit are also allowed to park in the designated employee parking areas used by "Regular" permit holders.
Please note that North "Premium" permits are not valid in the South ramp and South "Premium" permits aren’t valid in the North ramp.
Premium permits are not sold online. Eligible businesses will be contacted directly on how to purchase them.

Employers requested a lower-price option for part-time employees and others who may not be able to spend a lot for parking. This permit is valid only on the rooftop of the North Ramp.
- How long can I park with a permit?
-
Vehicles with a valid permit for that area are allowed to park in any of the employee designated spaces in excess of the posted limits. There is no maximum time limit for employees with valid permits except that around-the-clock parking is generally not permitted. Overnight parking is allowed only for vehicles that display a valid overnight permit and park in the designated stalls.
- Do I have to purchase permits online?
-
Yes. All permits other than premium must be purchased online and will be mailed to you. (Businesses eligible for premium permits will be contacted directly.)
There are no in-person sales or picking up of parking permits.
