Can I get a temporary residential parking permit until I am able to change my out of province licence? |
 |
A three month temporary pemit is available while you change your address and licence. You must provide a current out-of-province registration and official proof-of-residence in Calgary within the required parking zone. Handwritten receipts or letters are not accepted. |
|
|
|
When do I renew my residential permit? |
|
Permits must be renewed yearly. The expiry date is printed on the permit. Permits may be renewed
starting the beginning of the month preceding the expiry month, e.g. expiry date of October 31,
permits available September 1. |

Why do I need a parking permit to park on the street in my area? |
|
Communities may ask for residential parking restrictions to protect their communities from excessive parking in the area. The residents of the community petition through Traffic Operations to have their area restricted. City Council must approve the creation of new zones. If you are a resident in the area you must then display your parking permits to park on the affected streets. The Calgary Parking Authority issues about 14,500 residential parking permits each year. |

|
Can students living in a residential zone receive a parking permit? |
|
A full-time student, not ordinarily living in Calgary, may apply for a residential permit by bringing the vehicle registration certificate, student identification and a rental agreement showing the correct address within the residential parking zone to the Calgary Parking Authority. |
|
|
|
Where do I place the permit sticker and are there any conditions for use? |
|
Apply the permit to the inside driver's side of the rear window.
You cannot sell, trade, give away or allow any person to use your sticker. This is in accordance with City of Calgary by-law #26M96. |

|
Can my visitors park in a residential parking permit zone? |
|
You can apply for a maximum of two visitor permits annually for each unit if you live in a single, semi-detached, triplex, four-plex, or rowhouse unit. Permits will not be replaced if lost or stolen before they expire. If you move, the visitor permit must remain at the address. Only visitors to the address may use the permits. You cannot sell a permit. |
|
|
|
Why can't I get visitor permits for my apartment? |
|
Visitor permits will not be issued for apartment buildings because on street spaces are limited and will not accommodate the large number stalls required for each individual apartment. Issuing visitor permits to each apartment would create the same parking problems the permit is trying to solve. |
|
|
|
Can I use residential parking and visitor permits at parking meters or in restricted parking zones? |
|
The residential parking permits are not valid at parking meters, in No Stopping zones, or other restricted areas such as loading zones, handicap zones or school no parking areas. |
|
|
|
What should I do with the residential parking permit if I sell my vehicle? |
|
Remove the sticker and return it to the Calgary Parking Authority. If you are purchasing another vehicle you may obtain a permit for the new vehicle with the updated vehicle registration. Apply in person, by fax or by mail. |
|
|
|
What should I do with the residential parking permit if I move from the area? |
|
Remove the sticker from your vehicle and return it to the Calgary Parking Authority. Leave any
visitor permits at the location. |
