Parking Enforcement

Parking enforcement officers carry maps and other information about Greenville.

Sound parking enforcement is important to the health, safety and economic vitality of the City. Our dedicated and productive enforcement staff is the heart of our effective parking enforcement program. A well-designed enforcement effort enables the City to maximize its use of the existing parking supply.

You'll also find our parking enforcement officers to be excellent ambassadors for the City of Greenville. They carry city maps and brochures, and are ready to assist by answering your questions.
