Valet Parking Regulations

Valet Parking Regulations

Valet Regulations provide businesses and patrons with Baltimore City Valet Operator Licenses and Valet Parking Zone Permits to conduct valet services on City right-of-way.  A valet service is moving a vehicle from one location to another location as a parking service within a reserved space adjacent to a curb, during specified times. This program reserves the City's right-of-way for valet operations to businesses that meet the qualifications that are established by Baltimore City Code.
