NEW! Monthly Auto Renewable Permits paid by recurring credit card

Starting in September, most annual permits will transition to renewing monthly and no longer by one annual payment*. This means that your monthly payment will be due on the second last day of the month for the upcoming month and will continue to renew automatically until the permit is cancelled or a payment is missed.

  • Customers must fill out the External Permit Application Form to apply.
  • The applicant will receive details on how to complete the permit purchase by logging into the parking portal to add the credit card for recurring billing.
  • Parking operates through a virtual permit system. Parking privileges are assigned to your parking account and are verified using licence plate recognition software; in other words, your licence plate is your permit.
  • It is the responsibility of the permit owner to ensure only one vehicle is parking using this permit at any given time.
  • Non-reserved parking permits are assigned for specific lots on a "scramble" basis—you will not be assigned an individual parking stall. Permit holders may only park in their assigned lot.
  • If you would prefer to park in a different lot, you can add your name to up to four waitlists by completing the Waitlist application form.
