HOW TO APPLY FOR A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT

Step 1: Create an Account

Use the link below to create your residential parking account. This is a new account not related to any other city account.) Once you have created your account you will receive a verification email. Follow instructions in the verification email to complete your account.

Step 2: Apply for residential parking permit on the applications tab

Start an application for your virtual parking permit/s (Click on Plus Sign at the Bottom Right Hand Side of your Screen). You will enter your address to see which permits are available and input required documents and information. The Parking Department will review your application and once your application is approved or denied, you'll receive an "approved" email or a reason to why you were denied. Your permits will be attached to your vehicle virtually, therefore no need for a hang-tag. If you are denied due to a data entry error, you can resubmit after making corrections to your existing application.

Step 3: Residential Parking Permit Activation

Once your application is approved or denied, we will inform you. You can then use the link below to return to the "Residential Permit Portal" and log in using the account credentials you created in Step 1 to manage your Permits. After approval, you lastly need to click on 'buy permits' in the Permit tab and check out (the amount will be 0.00) and that is what will officially activate your permits in our system. If you fail to click on 'buy permit' after activation, you technically still do not have a permit according to our system. 

Residential Parking Map

A Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Zone is a residential area where on street parking is restricted. The RPP program was developed as a tool to balance the needs of all who parks on our streets, including residents, visitors and commuters. Parking in residential areas is limited to residents, business and commuters who obtain permits. Parking is not enforced after 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday in residential areas only.
