City of Ketchum Unveils New Parking Fees for Downtown Lots

KETCHUM, Idaho – A new fee structure, created in response to public input gathered earlier this year, went into effect last week at the Washington and Leadville parking lots. The Washington Avenue lot features a free first hour during the daytime. Both lots have lower hourly rates and monthly permits.

Peak and off-peak rates are offered in both lots. Peak seasons are June 15 to September 15 and December 15 to March 15. Rate details include:

Washington Lot

• First hour free between 12 a.m. and 4 p.m. Patrons must still visit the kiosk or the online app to register their license plate.
• Peak rates are $.50 per hour from 12 a.m. to 4 p.m. and $1.50 per hour from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m.
• Off peak rates are $.25 per hour from 12 a.m. to 4 p.m. and $.75 per hour from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m.
