## Parking at the United States Department of Agriculture South Building

The United States Department of Agriculture South Building is at 1400 Independence Avenue SW, near 14th Street and Independence Avenue SW in Washington. The USDA Headquarters Complex parking guidance is the relevant official source for drivers visiting the site (usda.gov).

The building is an office site rather than a public visitor attraction, so a nearby reserved space is the practical choice for a timed visit. Parksy lists secure parking at 1300 D St. SW, The Portals III Garage, 234 yd from USDASB, at $23 a day.

## Busy Washington Periods and Street Rules Near USDASB

The South Building sits in central Washington, 0.7 mi from the city center, where office traffic can make short-stay parking more demanding on weekdays. Its location on Independence Avenue SW and close to 14th Street SW puts drivers among busy downtown routes.

USDA’s official parking guidance for the headquarters complex sets the applicable arrangements for parking connected with the federal campus (usda.gov). Drivers should use an arranged garage space rather than assume that curbside parking on surrounding streets is suitable for a workday visit.
