The Hartford Parking Authority was created in December 1998 by a City Council ordinance that amended the Hartford Municipal Code. This ordinance was adopted pursuant to Chapter 100, C.G.S. 7-202, of Connecticut General Statutes. This State statute permits towns and municipalities to create parking authorities. As such, the Hartford Parking Authority is a separate "body corporate and politic" to the municipality of Hartford.

As currently authorized under Chapter 10 of the Hartford Municipal Code, the Hartford Parking Authority is responsible for creating, establishing, maintaining, and operating the City's dedicated parking facilities. Under this ordinance, the Hartford Parking Authority is responsible for the Church Street, MAT, and new Morgan Street Garages.

The Hartford Parking Authority is governed by five members, who are nominated by the Hartford City Council and appointed by the City Manager. Authority members serve without compensation.
