Residents can buy permits for their visitors to park on city streets. Applications are available online at any time or in person at Vaughan City Hall, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Permits are electronic and do not need to be printed or displayed.

Permit conditions:

There is a fee of $7 per permit.
Permits are available for up to 10 consecutive days and up to 60 days per calendar year (i.e. Jan. 1 to Dec. 31).

2. Construction parking permits

Until the new changes come into effect, residents can request permission to park on the street when undertaking construction or renovation work on their private property. Permits are issued at no cost for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year.

Please note: Permits are not transferable between licence plate numbers. Non-used permit dates cannot be cancelled and reissued at a later time if the dates have already passed.

Applications are available in person at Vaughan City Hall, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or online.

3. Monthly parking permits

There are five streets for which monthly parking permits are available in designated areas only:

Cidermill Avenue (valid Mondays through Fridays, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
Napa Valley Boulevard
Sharer Drive (valid Mondays through Fridays, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
Whitmore Drive (valid Mondays through Fridays, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.)

Permits are available for purchase one week prior to the start of the next month and must be applied for in person at Vaughan City Hall, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at a cost of $53 per month.

Please note: Permits purchased once the month has started are not pro-rated and are non-refundable, but are interchangeable as they are not issued to a particular vehicle/licence plate number.
