Residential parking permit applications can be completed HERE beginning on May 1st. Proper documentation is required, including driver's license, current vehicle registration and a lease or proof of property ownership. Business owners will also apply online through the link above beginning May 1st. Once the application has been submitted and reviewed you will be notified by the Municipal Court when the passes are ready for pickup.
