Merry Christmas: Grace Period for Parking Passes Good Through Jan. 10

If you have a San Clemente parking pass that expires Jan. 1, the city has a Christmas present for you: No tickets through Jan. 10.

The city is offering grace to expired pass holders between Dec. 24 and Jan. 10 because City Hall will be closed between Dec. 24 and Jan. 1.

But, “after the grace period has expired, all residents are expected to have their parking permits renewed,” says a press release from the city.

All metered parking in San Clemente requires a parking decal affixed on the lower right hand (passenger) side of the vehicle’s front windshield. Metered parking permits are available for $50 for San Clemente residents and $100 for non-residents.

To apply for a parking permit, visit City Hall at 100 Avenida Presidio with a driver’s license and a utility bill showing proof of residency. For more information, call the Finance Division at (949) 361-8315.
