New Virtual Parking Permit Program Launching October 3rd

The City’s new virtual parking permit system launches on Monday, October 3rd. This new virtual system will use a vehicle owner’s license plate as their parking permit, thereby eliminating the need for physical paper permits to be issued or displayed. From resident permits to business or guest, all types of parking permit categories will be virtual via a customers’ plate. Current permit holders will be automatically transferred into the new system. The online permit application process will remain largely unchanged; however permits will now be issued via the online portal. New customers will be able to create an online account and submit all their documents to the portal. Once documents have been vetted, the permit immediately becomes active. Additional benefits of the new Virtual Parking Permit System include:

Faster issuance, post vetting
Streamlined application process
Ease of use for customers
Improved program efficiencies
Reduction of waste

A $1.50 convenience fee will be charged for use of the online portal. The fee is waived for in-person office visits or parking kiosk use. Permitted parking locations remain unchanged. For more information on the virtual permit program or other parking initiatives underway, please contact the Parking Division at 954.921.3535.
