Parking Permits

  • Some landlords offer off-street parking when renting from their property. Landlords usually charge a parking fee (although some may provide off-street parking for free). Parking fees vary greatly and can be a monthly fee or an annual fee. Talk to your landlord for details.
  • Many landlords do not guarantee and/or offer off-street parking. You may need to park your car on the street. Certain areas do require you to have a City Parking Permit. If you need additional information, contact the Parking Violations Complex at (614) 645-6400.
