How do I apply for an On-street Parking Permit?
APPLYING FOR A PERMIT
Permits are issued when there is not enough space at a residence to accommodate all vehicles registered to that address. They are not issued for convenience reasons.
Depending upon the number of permits requested you may be required to provide proof of all licensed drivers at the address.
Vehicles with permits must be in use, and must be moved at least every 48 hours.
Permits do not exempt vehicles from the rules of a snow emergency. Vehicles must be removed from the street, until it has been plowed by the city.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
A current (not expired) REGISTRATION must be shown for ALL VEHICLES registered to the address (not just the vehicle(s) which are to be parked in the street) including boats, trailers, RVs, etc. that are at the home. This is done every year. Please note that only 1 trailer will count towards your total number of vehicles.
Photo copies are acceptable. At the time of application, an officer will check the residence to determine whether or not a permit is warranted. Neither the vehicles nor the homeowner needs to be present when this takes place. A temporary permit will be issued so that you will not be ticketed during this period. You will call the number listed below in approximately 5 days to learn whether or not you have been approved. There will be a $3 charge for each permit that is approved. A title must be shown for any unlicensed vehicles, which MUST BE STORED IN A GARAGE.
lf you have recently moved to SCS, and your registration has not been updated, you will need to change your address on your driver's license to reflect your new SCS address.
RENEWAL
ALL PERMITS EXPIRE ON FEBRUARY OF EACH YEAR so you should renew in January by AGAIN showing ALL of the registrations for ALL of your vehicles.
CHANGING VEHICLES DURING THE YEAR
lf a vehicle with a permit on it is sold and replaced by a new vehicle, remove the old sticker (in pieces or whole) and bring it in, along with the registration for your new vehicle, and a new permit will be issued.
NOTE: Stickers must be permanently affixed to the driver's side of the windshield, approximately 5 " up from the dashboard, and can only be used on the vehicle that was specified to the Police Department.
