Residential Permit Parking Program

What is City Permit Parking?

Certain areas in Salt Lake City, like hospitals and universities, draw non-residents who often seek parking in nearby residential zones, causing hardship for residents and property owners. This can lead to excess noise, air pollution, litter, traffic hazards, congestion, and limited on-street parking. Restricting all-day non-resident parking in designated areas can help by reducing traffic hazards and congestion, protecting the area from pollution and noise, and easing the burden on residents seeking parking and access to their homes.

How City Permit Parking Works

A city permit parking area is designated by official City signs posted curbside at set intervals. One sign indicates the type of parking restriction and the other sign, placed on the same installation, indicates the city permit parking area.

There are two types of parking restrictions/prohibitions possible for a residential permit parking area:

Time limit restriction with effective hours and effective days specified, such as two-hour parking, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Saturday, Sunday, and holidays.

No parking prohibition with effective hours and effective days specified, such as No Parking, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., except Saturday, Sunday, and holidays.


Types of Residential Parking Permits

REGULAR vehicle parking permits are intended to be displayed permanently on motor vehicles owned/controlled by residents, non-resident property owners or employed non-residents (if authorized) within the permit parking area.

GUEST vehicle parking permits are intended to be temporarily displayed in vehicles operated by persons visiting or doing business with residents within the permit parking area on a short term basis.

VISITOR vehicle parking permits are intended to be temporarily displayed in vehicles operated by persons visiting area residents or servicing area residences on a long term basis.


City Permit Parking Program Fees

Fees vary for REGULAR vehicle parking permits. Please call the Transportation Office at 801-535-6630 before mailing a check or money order in. The permits are prorated depending on when your area begins. There is no fee for guest or visitor passes; however, at least one regular vehicle parking permit must be purchased to obtain these passes.
