Reminder About Parking Permits

Parking permits are required to park vehicles on city streets between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.  The cost for an annual overnight parking permit is $80.00 per vehicle per year.  Temporary overnight parking permits are also available for $1.00 per vehicle per day.

Overnight parking permits only allow vehicles to park on city streets overnight and do not exempt the vehicle owner from any other city municipal code or state vehicle code.
