Parking for Visitors

 

Being a gracious host extends beyond providing warm hospitality; it encompasses ensuring your guests’ entire experience is seamless from when they arrive to when they depart. One often overlooked aspect of hosting is ensuring your guests can easily find parking. 

Luckily, you can alleviate any parking angst your out-of-town guests might have by taking advantage of our temporary parking permits and day passes, which can simplify the process for hosts and guests alike.

Let’s Get To It:

Day Passes:

  • Day passes consist of a single booklet of five parking passes for $35.
  • Residents can purchase a maximum of two booklets and then wait 60 days before buying another.
  • Proof of residence is required.
  • To use the pass, scratch off the month and date on which the pass will be used, and write the visitor’s license plate number in the box provided on the pass. Then, hang the pass on the rearview mirror. You can download the day pass application below:
