Resident Parking

Resident Parking Permits or Visitor Passes are required for parking on certain posted streets within the City. Vehicles parked on these streets without valid Permits or Passes will be ticketed. If you live on one of these streets you may obtain a Resident Parking Permit (sticker) by presenting a valid registration containing your current address within the City, proper identification and completing a Resident Parking Application.  Two Visitor Passes may also be obtained along with the resident parking permit. Your Permit and Visitor Passes are valid only for your designated area and not for other areas within the City.

If you do not have a motor vehicle, two visitors passes may be obtained by showing proper identification, proof of residence (Utility Bills) and completing a Resident Parking Application.  Currently there is no charge for Permits or visitor passes.

New Permits: Permits must be obtained only if you move or change motor vehicles.

Visitor Passes: Passes must be renewed annually.

Abandoned and Illegal Vehicles

All motor vehicles parked on public streets must be legally registered, have the correct number of plates displaying a valid registration sticker and display a valid inspection sticker. Vehicles not meeting these requirements are subject to being ticketed, towed and stored at owners expense. A landowner may keep only one unregistered vehicle stored on his or her private property. Vehicles may also be towed if they are left unattended on public streets for more than 72 hours or are not road worthy or present a fire or safety hazard or are parked illegally.

Fees for abandoned / illegal vehicles are as follows:
        Towing | $110
        Storage | $35 per day        
        Administrative Fee | $25

To claim these vehicles you must provide the Parking Department with proof of ownership and pay all outstanding fees and parking fines, with Cash, Bank Check or Money Order. Personal checks are not accepted.

Parking Tickets

The City makes every effort to fairly enforce parking rules and regulations. If you receive a Parking violation, it is important to pay the violation within 21 days, otherwise significant penalties will be added and your name sent to the Registry of Motor Vehicles for the purpose of non-renewal of your license and registration.

A $5 penalty is added by the City if not paid within 21 days and will increase again by $15 after fourteen (14) more days. A notice will follow upon which time the ticket must be paid or your violation will result in the Non-Renewal of the License of Registration certificate and a $20.00 penalty is added.

If you wish to dispute the ticket you may request a hearing by contacting the Parking Department within 21 days of issuance of the ticket. Personal checks are accepted prior to Registry notification. After the Registry of Motor Vehicles has been notified, tickets must be paid with Cash, Credit, Bank Check or Money Order.
