PURCHASING RESIDENTIAL PERMITS
Current Residential Permits are $20 for each permit. Each residence within a district is entitled to a maximum of (2) permits per City Ordinance (Municipal Code 10.36.220). Permits are pre-assigned to each address and are subject to the same rules regarding usage as in the past. The current permits will expire September 15th, each calendar year. Permits for the coming year must be paid for prior to issuance.
Only a Property Owner or Authorized Agent on record will be issued the permits. If the Property Ownership has changed, please provide a copy of the Transfer of Title/Grant Deed along with a copy of your Driver’s License to the Parking Services office. If you are a Tenant or Property Management Company and are not listed as an Authorized Agent, you will need to have the Property Owner fill out an Authorization Letter and return it to the Parking Services office.
