Annual permits can be purchased online. Annual permits are valid until the last day of the month of issuance the following year. One permit is required for each vehicle and is issued to a specific license plate number. Permit is not transferrable between vehicles. The confirmation email you receive after purchasing a parking permit will show the date of purchase. Permits expire on the last day of the month of issuance in the following year. You will receive an email reminding you to renew your expired permit one year from the date purchased. If you no longer have that email, please call our administration office at 303-441-3440.
Annual permits are $25 and are good for all OSMP fee locations on Flagstaff Mountain, in Gregory Canyon, or at Doudy Draw, Flatirons Vista, Greenbelt Plateau, Marshall Mesa, South Boulder Creek West and South Mesa Trailheads. There is a $1.50, non-City of Boulder service charge for online transactions. Annual parking permits are non-refundable.
Please note: You do not need to display a permit when parking in one of the OSMP lots because your license plate is registered in the permitting system. If your license plate number changes within one year of purchasing your permit, please call our administration office at 303-441-3440 to register your new plate number.
Reservation holders for the Flagstaff Summit Shelters or the Halfway House may either have attendees purchase daily permits at self-service stations provided or may pre-purchase daily permits. Please visit our Administrative Office During Office Hours to pre-purchase daily permits.
Please Note – Daily parking permits are non-refundable and change will not be given. Please use exact change. Checks are accepted and can be made out to City of Boulder OSMP.
