Parking Decals
are permits for persons residing in the residential restricted parking district. The decal enables
residents to park vehicles, including motorcycles, within a designated area for greater than hourly time restriction
without being ticketed. In order to park in designated areas of the district, any parked vehicle must display the decal.
Those eligible to obtain a permit must display it inside the car, on the lower right corner of the driver's side rear
windshield.
A resident
of the district is defined as an owner of record or renter of property in the district and members of their
immediate family who reside with the owner or renter at the address in the District:
(1) Who are licensed drivers;
-and-
(2) Whose domicile is the address for which they are seeking to obtain the parking permit.
Property owners
must complete the Residential Parking Permit Application (RPPA) for the respective district and
provide either a copy of their real estate bill or other information that verifies their ownership of the property.
Renters
must complete the RPPA, have the property owner sign the POTIF and provide a valid written lease for the
property located in the District for which they seek to obtain a permit.
Students
are required to meet the resident requirements indicated above and comply with the vehicle registration
requirements indicated below to be eligible to obtain a residential, restricted, parking decal.
Vehicles
must be registered in accordance with the requirements of the
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
(DMV).
If the DMV requires the vehicle to be registered in the City of Richmond, all City taxes and fees that are due must be
paid prior to obtaining a parking decal.
Guests
will be in violation and may be ticketed and towed if a current guest permit (temporary parking or annual
visitor's pass) is not properly displayed. The guest permit should be taped inside the rear window of the vehicle in the
lower right corner.
Resident identity verification
the resident must present a picture ID or another form of identification that enables
City staff responsible for administering the restricted parking program to verify their identity.
