A RESIDENT PARKING PERMIT is ONLY issued to residents who live on a street that has timed parking restrictions (1P, 2P, etc.) with the exception of multi-unit developments.
Resident parking permit allows the permit holder to park in any permitted parking space within the section of the street specified on the permit and within the next nearest street, for longer than the time limits shown on the parking sign (except in the school zones). A permit does not guarantee that parking will be available in a resident's street.
