Residential Parking Permit Program

The 2022/2023 Permit

It's time to renew your Residential Parking Permit for Old Town.  The stickers will help ensure that marked residential parking spaces are reserved for residents.

If you already have last year's permit, you can renew it easily online by clicking here or stopping by the rear entrance of City Hall 1300 White Street Monday-Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

After October 31, 2022, last year's pink conch shell permits will no longer be valid for parking in the spaced marked "Residential" in the historic neighborhoods, nor will they grant the 4-hour free parking credit (one time per day) in select City lots. 

This year's Residential Parking Permit is proud to display the Southernmost Buoy and will be mailed to your address on file if you apply or renew online.

The permits cost $39.13 for a full year of parking.  You will need to apply if you did not purchase one last year. 

You can apply in-person or online.  Applicants must upload proof of residency, a valid driver's license, and vehicle registration to qualify for a residential permit.

In addition to ensuring that residents can park in the marked residential spaces, the permit allows for parking for up to four hours, one time per day, without paying in any one of the five parking lots:

All other parking regulations remain unaffected by this permit program.  For example, no boat, trailer, RV, or vehicle over 20 feet in length, can park on-street or in municipal lots.  Additionally, all cars parked on-street must be moved every 72 hours (three days) per the existing City Code. 

With a valid Residential Permit, vehicles can park in marked "Resident Permit" spaces on the street located within the Historic District.  Additionally, vehicles can park in certain parking lots for four (4) hours one time per day without paying. 

Please note; you must enter your license plate number and permit number into Parking Pay Station to receive your four (4) hour parking credit.
