PARKING & ENFORCEMENT

The Pentagon Reservation parking lots are strictly controlled and enforced to ensure all vehicles are identified for security purposes. 

Notice: There is no public parking available at any location on the Pentagon Reservation. Members of the public visiting the area are encouraged to use public transportation or nearby commercial parking.

Parking Enforcement & Restrictions

The Pentagon Force Protection Agency actively enforces parking rules across the Reservation. Unauthorized or illegally parked vehicles are subject to citations, immobilization (booting), or towing at the owner's expense.
 

Violations:

  • Citations: Permit holders who receive three or more citations within a 12-month period may have their parking privileges revoked for one year or longer.
  • Immobilization/Towing: If a vehicle is towed or immobilized, the owner must pay a fee (currently $115) in cash or credit to arrange for release.
     
Impound Information:
Towed vehicles are moved to the Northside lanes 60-62. If a vehicle is stored for more than 24 hours, it may be relocated, which can result in additional fees.


If your vehicle is relocated, please contact:
