Virtual Overnight Parking Permits Launches October 3rd |
Annual overnight parking permits will be available for purchase ONLINE beginning Monday, October 3rd. Residents who currently have an annual overnight parking permit will receive a renewal notice with instructions to create an account online.
Please note, if you have an October parking permit, it won't expire until the end of the month, but please start creating an account online soon, because it takes seven working days to process the information for the first time.
No physical permits will be mailed out for the annual overnight parking permit, instead your license plate number will serve as your permit. If you have a Temporary Overnight Permit, you are still required to display the permit on your car for now.

When fire strikes, your home could be engulfed in smoke and flames in just a few minutes. That’s why it’s so important to have a home fire escape plan that prepares your family to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds.
Fire Prevention Week is observed from October 9 – 15, 2022. This year’s theme is “Fire Won’t Wait. Plan Your Escape.”
Please visit the National Fire Protection Association’s website for safety information, including how to put a Family Action Plan together.
