A new state law is set to take effect January 1st, which will lead to increased parking fees in Danbury.  Meters and garages will be subject to the state's 6.35 percent sales tax rate.  The Danbury Parking Authority is slated to discuss how to implement the change at its January meeting.  Director Debbie Pacific told the Newstimes that she expects the raise will be just enough to cover the taxes.  Hourly meter rates in Danbury have not increased since 2007, while monthly permits went up slightly in 2018.  The authority operates mainly on user fees and does not get funding from the city. 8-percent of revenue comes from violations and notices. Last year, the authority’s expenses exceeded $1 million, but revenues were just under $1 million.
