Street Occupancy Parking Permits
A street occupancy parking permit is a cardboard placard that is placed in the window of a vehicle to indicate the vehicle has the City’s permission to occupy a designated parking space.
Vehicles displaying this placard may park in a specified metered space, timed parking zone and loading zone for each day the permit has been issued.
The cost is $15.00 per day per space. You can obtain a street occupancy permit in the Public Services office at 55 Portland Street. For more information call (207) 874-8822.
