Vehicle/License Plate Change
Effective July 1, 2023

A license plate is required to purchase a permit
In order to purchase a parking permit, you must provide a current and valid license plate number for the vehicle that will be displaying the permit. This information will help the parking division serve you better and prevent you from receiving parking tickets if your permit isn't being displayed correctly.
