Residential Parking Permits


 

Explanation of Parking Permits and Expirations:      

 

  • Yellow – For residents of College Heights, including UMW students, who live on streets posted with signs that read: “Residential Permit Parking Only.”  

  • Orange – For employees of downtown businesses, including city employees, to allow them to park on streets posted with signs that read: “No Parking 5am – 8am Except Residents.” NOTE: Vehicles with orange decals are NOT exempt from two-hour parking restrictions.

  • Blue –    For downtown residents who live on streets that exempt them from restrictions.

  • Green – For UMW students who live in College Heights on streets that are NOT posted with signs that read “Residential Permit Parking Only.”  

 

How to Obtain a New Parking Permit:

 

  • Permits must be obtained from the Records Division at Police Headquarters, 2200 Cowan Blvd. The Records Division is open Monday – Friday, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm.

  • Residents must present a photo ID and a copy of the vehicle registration for every vehicle that requires a permit. If the ID and vehicle registration do not display the pertinent city address, the resident must provide proof of residency (ie, copy of lease, utility bill, property bill of sale).

  • The parking permits are FREE.

 

Once obtained, the parking decal must be prominently displayed on the rear bumper of the vehicle in order to avoid the issuance of a parking citation. Display of the parking permit will also allow the vehicle owner to park in the VRE parking lots that are restricted to city residents. 

 

Note for VRE commuters:  If you are a city resident, but you are NOT eligible to obtain one of the above permits, you must obtain a city decal to park in the VRE lots that are restricted to city residents.  City decals are available for $2.00 at the Treasurer's Office, City Hall, 715 Princess Anne Street. Click HERE for more information.

 

Any questions, please contact the Records Division at (540)372-1165.
