Why City of Portland Billed Your Account
Unreviewed registry note: A line item showing PARKING KITTY PBOT PORTLAND represents a paid street parking session billed by the Portland Bureau of Transportation. The Portland Bureau of Transportation Parking Kitty Meter Session covers metered curbside spaces throughout the City of Portland, including the Pearl District, Downtown, and the Central Eastside. Drivers use the city's official Parking Kitty mobile app to initiate or extend on-street parking without using a physical pay station.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears whenever someone enters a Portland parking zone number in the application and starts a timed session. The total amount usually falls between $2.00 and $16.00 based on the parking zone rate and the duration of your stay, which includes a municipal convenience fee. Similar to other mobile parking platforms like ParkMobile or PayByPhone, your card is charged immediately when the parking window begins. If you added extra time remotely from your phone before your meter expired, that extension may post as an additional charge.
Unreviewed registry note: To verify the charge, open the Parking Kitty app and review your parking history, which lists exact zone numbers and timestamps. If you were not in Portland or did not use the service, ask family members who share your vehicle or payment card if they parked downtown. For billing errors or double charges, contact PBOT parking operations at 503-823-5185, or dispute the line item through your card issuer if your card details were compromised.
