Off-street public structured and underground parking garages in Taipei City operate on an entirely online registration and computer lottery system (全面網路登記抽籤制), opening registration from 07:00 on the 5th through 14:00 on the 20th of sales months, executing computer lotteries at 15:00 on the 20th, and requiring winning applicants to complete smart payment by 24:00 on the 23rd; vehicle owners registered in the parking garage's host village (所在里) receive a 70% full-day pass discount (7 折), while surrounding villages within 300 meters enjoy an 80% discount (8 折). Across Taipei and New Taipei, public monthly parking rates are substantially lower than private parking bays, making mastery of lottery calendars and residency verification crucial.
Important Reminder: In Taipei City, each license plate number can register for at most 2 parking facilities during the identical sales window (if both win regular admission, the applicant must choose one to pay for, automatically canceling the other); if winners fail to pay before deadlines, quotas roll over to alternate waitlists.
