Question:
If I get a trailer hitch put on my 2015 Mazda 3 Sedan, will it bottom out every time I go up or down a ramp to a parking garage?

It is unlikely that a trailer hitch receiver on your 2015 Mazda 3 iSport Sedan will hit the ground when going up or down a ramp to a parking garage.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11377 which is confirmed to fit your vehicle, measures 11-1/2" from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube, or about 10" from the ground to the bottom of the receiver tube. You would need to be going up/down a very step incline to run into any issues.
The # C11377 is a Class I trailer hitch receiver with a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating which can be used with a bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360, a cargo carrier, or a ball mount for very light duty towing.
If you can tell me what you are planning on using your trailer hitch receiver for I would be happy to recommend the best accessories to fit your needs.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
