Is your home the gathering place for all your friends and family? The City of Vaughan is making it easier for you to accommodate everyone for all of your celebrations. On April 11, the City's visitor parking program is changing to give residents more flexibility, and make it faster to get parking permits for your guests.
The new process is entirely electronic, which grants a permit instantly, removes the need to print or display a permit in the vehicle and makes it easier for enforcement officers to check if a vehicle has permission to park. The guidelines have also changed to allow for more consecutive parking days for a single vehicle. The limit has been raised to 10 days in a row from five days, for a maximum of 60 days in a year. There is now a $7 fee per permit to maintain the new program.
To use the new service, residents will need to create an account at
vaughan.ca/parking
and submit proof of their address, such as a driver's licence or a recent utility bill. Then residents can log on at
any time to purchase permits.
Valid visitor parking permits allow your guests to park on the street at any time, but does not exempt them from other
parking violations
.
Visitor, construction and monthly parking permits can still be obtained in person at Vaughan City Hall and over the phone at 905-832-2281, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Parking permits are an important tool used to regulate parking so streets and walkways can remain safe and functional. The City of Vaughan is committed to Service Excellence and improving services to fit the needs of our residents.
