Permit Placement

Permit Placement

Once you have purchased your permit it is important that you place it in the proper location on your vehicle. If you have a four door sedan or SUV, please place the permit on the driver's side back door window or for a two door sedan or SUV place the permit on the window which is furthest back on the driver's side.

For pickup trucks the permit should be placed on the rear cab window. If the truck has a cap on the back bed please place the permit on the side cap window.

If your vehicle has tinted windows please place a white sheet of paper behind the permit, so that the permit stands out.

Please see the Parking Department if you have any questions regarding the proper placement of the permit.
