Purchase a Permit

Full-time Employees

Cost

The monthly fee for employee parking is determined by their annual base salary as of June 1 each year and where their salary falls within the five-tier scale below. Once the monthly rate is fixed, it will not be adjusted if there is a change in pay that occurs throughout the year. Any changes to payroll deductions for parking occur the first of June every year. The rate for new employees or employees who start their deduction throughout the year is based on their pay at the time they apply for a permit. The employee may choose to have the monthly fee paid by payroll deduction or by pre-paying for their permit. Payroll deduction is not offered to those who have an appointment of less than a semester in duration.

Full-time, regular employees may pay ahead for a permit by the month or semester or sign up to be payroll deducted for the cost of the permit.   

• To pay ahead, employees may go online to https://parking.umkc.edu. After purchase, a temporary printable permit will be generated for immediate use. The hangtag will be mailed to the employee’s delivery address.
• To sign up for payroll deduction, employees may contact the Parking Operations Office by email, phone or by visiting the office with picture ID. A payroll-deducted permit can be arranged in person or remotely. 
• Once an employee has signed up for parking, they will be issued a permit that will remain valid until the expiration date listed on the permit.
• Continuous permits for faculty/staff paid by payroll deduction are automatically renewed and a new permit is sent via campus mail to the employee upon expiration of the parking permit.
• Permits that have not been set up for payroll deduction must be renewed by the employee. The employee can do this online via our website https://parking.umkc.edu, or by visiting the Parking Operations Office.
• Parking is not prorated for portions of the month. No refunds for parking permits will be issued.
• There will be a $20 replacement fee for the first lost, stolen or destroyed permit. This fee will increase with subsequent replacement permits.

Part-time Employees

Part-time employees who are regularly scheduled for two days per week or less may purchase a part-time faculty/staff semester parking permit on a prorated basis. Payment must be made in advance. To qualify for such a permit, their department head or supervisor shall inform the Director of Parking Operations, in writing, all pertinent facts of employment, including the two days of the week the employee will use campus parking. The permit can be arranged in person at the Parking Operations Office or remotely via email.

The cost will be one-half the full-time faculty rate based on the salary tier of the part-time employee.

Part-time employees who will be on campus more than two days a week do not have the option of a part-time rate. They may purchase a permit ahead by the month or semester. This can be done via the parking website (https://parking.umkc.edu) or in person at the Parking Operations Office. After purchasing online, a temporary printable permit will be generated for immediate use. The hangtag will be mailed to the employee’s preferred delivery address.

Parking is not prorated for portions of the month. No refunds for parking permits will be issued.

There will be a $20 replacement fee for the first lost, stolen or destroyed permit. This fee will increase with subsequent replacement permits.

Failure to comply with any parking regulation will subject the offender to the sanctions set forth in the UMKC Traffic Regulations. Parking violations must be appealed or paid within ten (10) days or a $5 penalty fee will be assessed.

Violations that remain unpaid for more than ten (10) days will be referred to the UMKC Cashiers and Collections Office and the outstanding balance applied to your UMKC employee ID account. Balances referred to the Cashiers and Collections Office can result in enrollment holds, transcript holds and suspension of charging privileges. Balances will be invoiced to your UMKC assigned email address and may also be mailed to an address on file in the Pathway system if you are not actively enrolled in classes. Unpaid balances invoiced by the Cashiers and Collections Office are subject to additional monthly finance charges (1% of the balance) and monthly late fees ($25).

Cancellation

• If an employee wants to stop their payroll deduction for parking they must return their UMKC parking permit to the Parking Operations office. If an employee fails to return the parking permit, their payroll deduction will continue until the expiration date of the permit issued to them.
• If an employee leaves the university without returning their parking permit and the payroll deduction for their parking ceases, the permit issued to them will be revoked and any vehicle displaying such permit will be subject to immobilization or towing. The vehicle will also be issued a $65 parking violation for attempting to circumvent the UMKC Parking and Traffic Regulations.
