Parking meters will allow you to park up to 2 hours at a cost of $1.00 per hour. If your meter runs out of time or you exceed the time limit, and you have not received a ticket within the previous 12 months, a courtesy ticket will be issued. For the first offense after a courtesy ticket, the ticket will cost $5.00; the second offense after a courtesy ticket will cost $10, the third will cost $15, and the fourth and subsequent tickets will cost $20. A Handicap Parking ticket is $100.00, and all other types of violations are $20.00 (Fire Hydrant, Wrong Side to curb, End Zone, Boulevard, etc) If you have a question about a parking ticket, please call 406-455-8430.
Yes, there is a two hour limit at parking meters; a vehicle must move to another parking space every two hours. A parking customer can NOT continue to plug the meter; if you do, the fee schedule is the same as for parking meter violations (see above). If you aren’t sure how long your business or shopping trip will take, we recommend you park in the Parking Garage at #17 4th St. N. It isn’t expensive - $5.00/day and you get the peace of mind of not having to worry about getting back to your car “in time.”

We hope you never get a ticket, but if you find yourself in this situation, it pays to pay your ticket right away! If you don’t pay a parking ticket within 30 days, there is an added fee of $10.00.
