Parking management in Aurora, CO
Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city and one of its most underserved markets for professional parking management. We bring the same full-service program we run in Denver — permits, enforcement, signage and resident support — specifically calibrated for Aurora's medical campus, older apartment stock and diverse community.
Full-service parking for Aurora communities
Aurora's apartment mix — from older complexes near Colfax to newer builds near the Anschutz Medical Campus — demands patrol schedules and permit structures that fit the property, not a national template.
Permit programs
Resident, guest and reserved permits designed for your community, with online and QR-code sign-up that works for residents at any tech comfort level.
Active enforcement
Trained officers patrol on a schedule tuned to your community's problem hours — including overnight windows for medical-campus neighbors.
Signage & towing
Compliant signage installed before enforcement begins, plus fire-lane and repeat-violator towing coordination.
Billing handled
Automated resident billing and renewals through Stripe — we collect, or bill the property directly.
Resident support
Local, US-based phone and text support so your leasing office stops fielding parking complaints.
Monthly reporting
A clear monthly report per property: permits issued, citations, revenue and enforcement activity.
What makes Aurora parking management different
Anschutz Medical Campus and shift-worker pressure
The Anschutz Medical Campus is one of the largest medical and research complexes in the country, and it sits in the middle of Aurora's densest apartment corridor. Hospital employees, nursing staff and medical students work 12-hour rotating shifts — which means apartment parking violations spike at 5 a.m., 7 p.m. and midnight, not during standard business hours. We schedule patrols around those windows, and our LPR system flags vehicles that don't belong before the shift ends and offenders disappear.
Aurora's older apartment stock
A significant share of Aurora's multifamily housing was built in the 1970s and 1980s, before modern parking permit systems existed. These communities often have minimal or no existing parking infrastructure — no signage, no permit history, no violation records. We build programs from zero: site walkthrough, signage design and installation, resident communication, permit rollout and enforcement. Communities that have tolerated parking chaos for decades can have a functional program running within weeks.
City of Aurora vs. unincorporated Arapahoe County
Aurora spans three counties (Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas), and some properties sit in unincorporated areas with different municipal codes from the city proper. Signage requirements, towing authorization procedures and citation processes can differ. We know the local regulations across all three jurisdictions and make sure your program is compliant from day one. Tell us your property address and we'll confirm the applicable code →

Aurora parking questions
Yes. 5280 Parking provides full-service parking permit management and enforcement for apartment communities and HOAs in Aurora and surrounding areas, including Aurora, Centennial, Englewood, Parker and Greenwood Village.
Pricing is custom based on your property size and enforcement needs. For qualifying Aurora properties, we offer a revenue-share model — we operate everything and earn a portion of permit revenue, zero out-of-pocket for the property. Month-to-month terms, no long-term contract. Prefer to manage it yourself? OpenParking software starts at $50/month.
Yes. Hospital and medical campus shift schedules create parking violations at hours that standard patrols miss entirely. We schedule officers around the actual problem windows — early morning, late evening, overnight — for communities near Anschutz and UCHealth. Tell us your address and we'll design a schedule around your specific pressure points.
Typically within a few weeks — the main dependency is signage installation, which we handle. For Aurora properties starting from zero infrastructure, we add a site survey and signage design step. Contact us to get a timeline for your property.
