Parking rules and permits
Permits
- Residential zone parkingIf you live in a Residential Parking Zone, the City Clerk can add your zone number to your City Sticker for $35 a year (prorated). You'll need ID and proof of an address in the zone, such as a lease, mortgage or recent utility bill. The zone permit expires with the sticker, and the zone number must match the street signs. Source
- Guest daily parking permitsZone residents can buy 24-hour daily permits for guests through the City Clerk's EzBuy site once they have a Customer Code (get one by submitting ID and proof of address). Each permit needs the date and time written in ink and must be shown in the lower passenger corner of the windshield. The limit is 45 permits per household per 30 days. Source
