Port of Homer Parking

Parking Permits now available for purchase online

As of January 2024, you can now purchase a parking permit online at https://www.tocite.net/homerak/Portal#. We no longer require that parkers display a physical permit in their vehicle.

Parking Fee Structure Update

In February of 2024, the City further revised parking policy for the Homer Spit. The prices for parking permits have  been reduced to $150 per vehicle. Please ensure that you are purchasing the correct permit-- the fee-pay seasonal permit covers the use of the $10-per-day lots, while the Long-Term Annual permit covers storage of a vehicle for longer than 7 days in the designated long-term parking areas.

Parking spots adjacent to the Ramp 2 Restroom, previously designated as bus parking, have been converted  to 1-hour parking spots designed for people needed short-term access to the floats to check on a vessel or drop off passengers.

Starting Memorial Day, May 29, 2023, the last section of angled parking spaces on the west side of Homer Spit Road will be limited to 3-hour parking and remain free or at no charge. These spaces were previously designated as 7-day free parking.

After seven days, vehicles must be removed from City property for at least 24 hours before returning or purchase a long-term parking permit. Noncompliant vehicles will be subject to citation. See the Port & Harbor Facilities Vehicle Parking Map (PDF) for designated parking areas.
