City’s Parking Division Continues to Clear Preferential Parking Permit Backlog

Residents are advised that the Transportation Department’s Parking Division continues to clear a backlog of pending preferential parking permit applications. This year, the Department experienced an increase in the number of parking permit applications which caused a delay in issuing some parking permits.

All parking permits should be processed and delivered by July 31, 2016, city officials said.

In a press release, the City said it “wishes to thank residents for their patience.”

The Department’s preferential permits are normally valid from July 1 to June 30. However, expired 2015-2016 permits will continue to be honored, including 1-day hangtag permits, until the replacement permits are delivered. To date, the Division has processed approximately 13,800 preferential permits and has about 700 applications remaining to process.

Permits – including residential, guest permits and hangtags—that have been delayed due to an unanticipated increase in permit applications, are:

• Time Limited Preferential Parking District (T-District)
• Catalina Preferential Parking District (C-District)
• Holliston Preferential Parking District (H- District)
• Allen Preferential Parking District (A-District)
• Lake Preferential Parking District (L-District)
• Maranatha Preferential Parking District (M-District)
• Oak Knoll Preferential Parking District (O-District)
• Pasadena City College Preferential Parking District (PCC-District)
• State Preferential Parking District (S-District)

Permits not affected by the backlog are:

• Annual Daytime and Overnight Permits
• Temporary Day and Night exemptions
• Moving Vehicle Parking Permits
• Construction Vehicle Parking Permits
• Valet Parking Permits
• City Surface Lots Parking Permits
• Storage Container Parking Permits
• RV Parking Permits
