Permits

9-Hour Parking Permits

• Permits cost $60 per month, or save more and get the group rate.  Groups of 20 or more are $50.00 each. We accept cash, check, Visa/Master Card, or money orders.
• Permits are valid for 9-hour meters only. If you park at a 3-hour meter, you must pay the meter or you will get a ticket. View our parking map online for locations of 9-hour meters.
• Purchase your permit at the Parking Services office. Be sure to bring your current vehicle registration with you. When your permit expires, you must re-register or pay the meter.
• Your window sticker is your only reminder that your permit will expire. Reminder notices are NOT sent. You must renew your permit in person at the Parking Services office, remember to request a new sticker or to change the date on your old one.
• The permit belongs to the vehicle, not the driver: If you drive a different vehicle, you must pay the meter. Your vehicle license information is entered into our computer. That is how we know the vehicle is in the program.
• If you're purchasing a new vehicle, stop by our office right away and we'll change your permit. Be sure to bring the new registration with you. There is a $5.00 fee to switch your permit, with a limit of three changes per quarter.
