I have to pay to park my car at our city office 2/3x a week, would this count as a Employment exspense for my taxes?

No.

 

The costs of commuting to and from work are not deductible.   And if you are a W-2 employee, you cannot deduct any job-related expenses on a federal tax return.

 

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.

If you are a W2 employee sorry you can no longer deduct expenses.  And commuting has never been deductible.
