Transfer my parking permit onto a new vehicle
In order to transfer your current parking permit onto a new vehicle, you must remove the permit from the current vehicle and return the permit to the Cashier counter at City Hall.
It is recommended that you write down the permit number before you begin to peel the permit off your current vehicle. (As a security feature, these permits/stickers are designed to tear apart when removed after the initial application.) Bring the permit into the Cashier at City Hall and complete the Replacement Request form at the Cashier counter. You must have the VIN# or the license number of the new vehicle in order to obtain the replacement permit for the new vehicle. The fee for replacement is $2.
Transfer my parking permit onto a temporary vehicle
If you car has been in an accident and is in the shop for repairs or if your car has been declared a total loss due to an accident, you must bring in the repair order form from the body shop or documents from your insurance carrier that details the VIN# and the license plate number of the damaged or totaled vehicle if you are unable to obtain the permit from the vehicle.
You will need to complete the Replacement Request form at the Cashier counter at City Hall. After a review of the documentation, the permit/sticker from the damaged vehicle will be rendered inactive and a replacement permit will be issued for your temporary vehicle.
