Everything your parking operation needs

From who is allowed to park, to what happens when someone isn't: one connected system for managers, staff, enforcement and residents.

Set up & access

Properties, lots & spaces

Model your real inventory, from a single building to a multi-site portfolio.

  • Properties, lots, zones and numbered spaces

  • Self-service portal to add and update vehicles
  • Vehicle limits per unit, with optional approval

Digital permits

Permits live on the plate, not a sticker that gets lost or copied.

Violations with photo evidence

Every violation documented and defensible.

The PlateQuery advantage

Reach the driver, even if they never registered with you

Most parking tools can only contact people already in their system. PlateQuery is also a public network where vehicle owners claim their plates. When an unknown car is in a reserved space, your violation can reach its owner through their plate, before it turns into a tow.

FAQ

Common questions

Who is PlateQuery for Business for?

Any organization that controls its own parking: property management companies, apartment and condo communities, HOAs, universities and schools, corporate campuses, hospitals and hotels.

Do we still need stickers or hang tags?

No. Permits and guest passes are tied to the license plate, so staff verify a vehicle by looking up its plate. Physical permits are optional.

Why is it invitation only?

We onboard a limited number of organizations at a time so every account gets hands-on setup: properties, parking rules, permit types and resident import are configured with you.

Can we notify a driver who isn't registered with us?

Yes. Every violation can be posted to the vehicle's PlateQuery plate page, and owners who have claimed their plate on PlateQuery are notified by email.
