Merchant Token and Validation Stamp Programs

Merchant Token and Validation Stamp Programs

These programs authorize discount pricing to merchants and business owners thereby allowing them the option to provide convenient free parking for their customers at a reduced cost.

Tokens may be used in all Downtown and University Hill meters and Validation Stamps are accepted at the five City of Boulder garages. To participate in this program, businesses must be located within the Central Area General Improvement District (CAGID) or University Hill General Improvement District (UHGID) and must pay property taxes to that district. To determine if you are a merchant or business within either district, contact the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder/Real Estate Division at 303-413-7770.

Meter Tokens

Many businesses purchase meter tokens for their customers. When you patronize a business, check with the staff to see if they participate in the token program.

  • Tokens come in rolls of 50 for $9.50/roll, each token is worth 12 minutes of parking
  • Tokens for personal use or employee parking cost $12.50/roll

Tokens for personal use or employee parking cost $12.50 per roll.

Validation Program

Validation stamps offer merchants and businesses two discounted garage validation choices for their customers. When you patronize a business, check with the staff to see if they participate in the validation program.

  • Half-hour books contain 200 stamps for $100 with a maximum of four stamps or 2 hours of free parking for each ticket. Stamps are applied to the first 2 hours of parking.
  • One hour books contain 100 stamps for $75 with a maximum of one stamp or 1 hour of free parking for each ticket. Stamp is applied to the first hour of parking.
