HOW CITY PERMIT PARKING WORKS

NOTICE: EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2009, REGULAR CITY PERMIT PARKING (CPP) PERMITS WILL COST $36.00 ANNUALLY. SEASONAL AND PARTIAL YEAR PERMITS WILL BE PRO-RATED BY THE QUARTER. THE COST INCREASE REFLECTS THE ACTUAL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING THE CPP PROGRAM.

A city permit parking area is designated by official city signs posted curb side at set intervals. One sign indicates the type of parking restriction/prohibition; the other sign (placed on the same installation) indicated the city permit parking area.

There are two types of parking restrictions/prohibitions possible for a residential permit parking area:

1. Time limit restriction with effective hours and effective days specified, such as two-hour parking, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Saturday, Sunday and Holidays.
2. No parking prohibition with effective hours and effective days specified, such as No Parking, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., except Saturday, Sunday and Holidays.

Enforcement - Vehicle Permits

Salt Lake City Parking Enforcement is the enforcement agency for the City Permit Parking Program. Vehicles displaying valid permits are exempt from posted parking restrictions/prohibitions solely applicable to the permit parking area.

Residential parking permits may be issued to residents living within the permit parking area and non-resident property owners who own or lease property within the permit parking area.

There are three types of vehicle residential parking permits:

1. REGULAR vehicle parking permits are intended to be displayed permanently on motor vehicles owned/controlled by residents, non-resident property owners or employed non-residents (if authorized) within the permit parking area.
2. GUEST vehicle parking permits are intended to be temporarily displayed in vehicles operated by persons visiting or doing business with residents within the permit parking area on a short term basis.
3. VISITOR vehicle parking permits are intended to be temporarily displayed in vehicles operated by persons visiting area residents or servicing area residences on a long term basis.
