 Residential Parking Permit

​Residents

The Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP) is established by City Code section 21-350 etal and restricts public parking in resort area residential streets between 8PM – 6:00AM daily. An active parking permit is required to legally park in these restricted areas during the posted restricted times. Click view the Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Areas Map for a map of the restricted parking areas. 

City Code section 21-354 (a) requires the annual issuance of residential parking permits in the resort neighborhoods. All residential and guest parking permits expire on March 31st each year.

Send questions or issues to parkingpermithelp@vbgov.com.

How the Residential Parking Program Works
  • To park on the street during restricted hours, residents in the resort neighborhoods can create an account using the City's permit management system to purchase annual residential and guest permits online. The 72-hour temporary permit is free.
  • The resident's account in the permit management system includes supporting documents to verify program eligibility, vehicle information, and resident contact information.
  • Once the resident's account is approved by the City, the guest and temporary parking permits become available for purchase in the permit management system.
  • Resident and temporary permits are license plate based; however actual permit decals are issued for the residential permits. A physical permit or decal is not required for the 72-hour temporary permit once the guest's plate number is entered into the permit management system.
  • Guest permits are hangtags that are placed on the vehicle's rearview mirror so parking enforcement can easily identify the vehicle as valid to park in the restricted parking zone.
  • The vehicle's license plate number is used to validate active residential and temporary parking permits.
  • Parking enforcement reads all vehicle license plates in the restricted parking zone to validate all active residential and temporary permits.
  • Parking enforcement will issue any vehicle without an active residential, guest, or temporary permit a $70 parking citation during the restricted hours.
