In January 2025, Regina City Council passed a motion to explore new property tax subclass options for standalone surface parking lots, particularly in the Downtown, Warehouse and Centre Square areas. Those areas have many standalone surface parking lots that could be redeveloped to support residential and economic growth.
The motion was originally put forward in July 2024 and was aimed at addressing underutilized land, such as standalone surface parking lots, through a tax subclass tool. The motion also directed Administration to review City-owned standalone surface parking lots within the study area. A property tax subclass for standalone parking lots does not change the total amount of tax collected by the City, it is intended to change how taxes are divided. Many cities in Canada have policies in place for parking lots in core business areas.
The City will engage with interest groups, parking lot property owners and parking lot operators. The goal is to uncover if there could be a policy that may encourage new development on underutilized land, such as standalone surface parking lots.
Why Your Input Matters
The City recognizes the need for parking spaces downtown and around the City Centre to support businesses. The purpose here is to rethink downtown parking to support community needs, while also promoting a vibrant and thriving commercial and cultural hub for the City Centre.
Public feedback from this engagement will be included in the report to Regina City Council on June 17, 2026. Any decision on changes to policy will be subject to the full Council approval process.

This survey is intended for those who use a motorized vehicle to travel to the City Centre (either as a driver or a passenger) and use City Centre parking spaces. This survey does not apply to those who travel to the City Centre by other means (e.g., public or active transportation) and do not require parking.
The City Centre includes the Downtown and adjacent Centre Square neighbourhood directly south of Victoria Avenue. It also includes the Warehouse District north of Dewdney Avenue between Albert Street and Broad Street.
This survey is open until 11:59 p.m. on April 2, 2026.
