Coming Soon: We will be launching a new and improved online Residential Parking Permit application system. We will send out communication to all current residents with more information. A couple of important things to note:
  • We will no longer accept paper applications. All Residential Parking Permit Applications must be submitted online. If you don’t have access to a computer or need help, our staff is happy to help in person at our office.
  • We will be phasing out the physical sticker and placard permits and moving to a virtual permit system. All residential permits, including visitor and daily guest permits, will be license plate based.

Permits may now be paid for online with VISA, MASTERCARD, OR DISCOVER CARD. Alternatively, you may mail a check, or come to our office to pay with check, cash, or credit card.
Permits will NOT be issued to:
  • Property owners or landlords who do not reside full-time at an eligible address.
  • Property managers.
  • Owners or occupants of vacation or short-term rental properties.
  • Vehicles with out-of-state registration.
  • Vehicles used primarily for commercial purposes (taxis, limos, etc.).
  • Vehicles exceeding 7’6” in height and 22 feet in length.
  • Any one person at more than one address.
  • Business entities.
  • Business addresses or addresses used primarily for commercial purposes.
PLEASE UPLOAD THE FOLLOWING TO COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION (JPEG OR PDF ONLY):
  • Lease / Proof of Home Ownership: A signed residential lease or rental agreement showing each applicant’s name and address OR a Resident Verification Form OR a recent property tax bill, mortgage documents, homeowners insurance bill, or similar proving home ownership.
  • Official Piece of Mail: A current (dated within the past three months - must show date) piece of official mail, such as a utility bill, bank statement, phone bill, cable bill, or similar, or a postal mail re-routing label. The piece of mail must display the applicant's name and the mailing address must match the address on the application. You may black out any other personal or financial information.
  • Valid California Vehicle Registration: in the applicant's name.
IMPORTANT FOR MAC/IPHONE USERS: Please do not upload HEIC files. We are unable to open them and will ask you to resubmit in either PDF or JPEG formats.
Please check that you agree before continuing.
