Facility Overview

Situated within the official Salt Lake County Government Center complex at 2001 S State Street, this expansive parking facility serves visitors, civil servants, and county patrons accessing county offices, including County Printing, the County Council, and administrative departments. The facility features a blend of open-air surface parking bays and structured parking facilities designed to handle steady public traffic throughout standard business hours. Because substantial portions of the area comprise open-air surface lots, there are virtually no vertical height restrictions in those designated stalls, making them exceptionally welcoming for high-clearance vehicles, oversized pickup trucks, commercial service vans, and full-size SUVs. Standard passenger sedans and compact cars will also find easy navigation through clearly striped, wide driving lanes and well-demarcated parking stalls.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward, with dedicated signalized entrance drives connecting directly to South State Street (US-89) as well as 2100 South.

For drivers planning to park and continue via mass transit, the Central Pointe TRAX light rail station (serving the Red, Blue, and Green lines alongside the S-Line Streetcar) is located just half a mile west, while Utah Transit Authority (UTA) bus routes 200 and 21 run directly along State Street and 2100 South with stops immediately adjacent to the government complex.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Public parking for official county transactions is generally free of charge, but visitors should always pay close attention to designated employee-only or reserved permit bays to avoid parking tickets or towing. During peak business hours between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, surface spots closest to the main building entrance fill quickly; arriving earlier in the morning offers the easiest parking access. If you are operating a tall van or service vehicle, steer directly toward the perimeter surface lots where turnaround radii and headroom are completely unrestricted.
