	Valet Parking Ordinance

In September 2006, Charlotte City Council approved a Valet Parking Ordinance to:

Protect citizens in the public right-of-way
Ensure traffic safety
Allow emergency services proper navigation room
Accomodate restaurant growth in Center City and impact to other businesses
Provide standards and clear guidelines for operating valet services in Charlotte

Any business operating, or wishing to operate, regular valet services in the public-right-of-way is required to comply with Section 19-321 of the parking ordinance and complete a yearly permit application.

Applications for annual renewal must be received by December 1 of each year.

Temporary permits are available for one-time short duration events.

Valet Parking Services Defined:

"Valet parking service means accepting possession of a vehicle on the right-of-way for the purpose of parking the vehicle for the operator or retrieving the parked vehicle and returning it to the operator on the right-of-way, regardless of whether a fee is charged."
