Important Notice Regarding Off Campus Permit Parking
The Residential Parking Permit Program was created in 1978 and has since grown to include more than 15 neighborhoods. The program helps to manage parking in residential areas where nonresident parking is impacting the ability of residents to park. The goal is to protect and improve the quality of life and character in the neighborhood by reducing the amount of overflow parking, discouraging cut-through traffic and ensuring adequate parking spaces for the residents.
Residential Parking Permit Renewals Begin July 1st. Residents may apply if they live on a street where parking is restricted and there is no practical way of parking off the street.
All applicants will be required to provide proof of identity, vehicle ownership, and that they live within the residential parking permit zone. Bring the following with you:
Identification
- Valid Driver’s license
Proof of Ownership
- Valid Motor vehicle registration card
Proof of Residency:

- A Warranty Deed for a home in the defined area if the home has been purchased recently and there is no utility bill available OR
