Additional Visitor Pass (only 2 allowed per address):   $17

  • There is no limit to the number of residential passes issued per address/residence; each resident is eligible to apply.
  • Only two visitors' permits may be issued per address/residence.  Visitors' permits may not be used by residents.
  • If you do not own a car, you may apply for a "Location Only Permit".  LOP may be used as visitor passes, and are subject to the same rules and regulations.
  • Non-resident property owners and their employees and contractors are eligible for Service Vehicle Passes within RPP areas.  
  • Streets included in the Residential Permit Parking program are marked with signs stating the hours of enforcement; hours of enforcement vary by area. 
  • Residential Parking Permits are available from the City Treasurer and must be renewed annually. Permits run annually from September 1 - August 31 and are not prorated.
  • Contractors performing work in the residential parking permit areas are eligible to receive temporary visitor passes for $25/week. These can be purchased in-person at the City Clerk's office; the contractor will be required to show proof that they will be working in the area (work agreement, permit, etc). This is a pilot program in the 2021 permit year.
  • Non-resident property owners and their employees are eligible for Service Vehicle Passes within RPP areas.
