Residential parking zones on City streets are established in certain areas of the City where there is a high demand for parking but a limited number of parking spaces. The intent of residential parking zones is to give residents in that area, or residents on one side of a street, parking in front of their homes. If you live in an area with residential parking restrictions, you may obtain a parking permit or permits by going to the information counter at City Hall. You must show your driver’s license proving that you live at a location within the parking zone and copies of vehicle registrations showing that the vehicles are registered at that address.

Visit the Finance counter at City Hall or call (909) 626-8571 for information about the types of permits available and the requirements for their issuance.
