How does the Area Parking Permit Program work?
A1: This program was developed to allow on-street parking by residents and businesses rather than by commuters. Currently, vehicle parking permits are issued to residents and businesses of the following six (6) areas: Central Eastside Industrial District, Gander Ridge, Goose Hollow, Homestead, Zone K, and Lair Hill. Applicants must provide proof of residency and a current vehicle registration in the resident’s name (or a notarized letter from the legal owner stating permission for the applicant to use the vehicle) to obtain a resident vehicle and a guest vehicle parking permit. Permits are issued by mail only; business owners should call 503-823-6841 for specific application requirements. Residents and businesses may apply for new Area Parking Permit Program neighborhoods or business districts by calling the Parking Control Section, 503-823-5185.
