Restricted Parking Districts
Ordinance No 2004-179-175 provides the criteria necessary to establish restricted parking districts. This ordinance permits the creation of additional districts throughout the City while not adversely affecting existing districts.
General Permit Requirements & Definitions:
The following documents enable residents and property owners to provide the necessary
information to apply for a Parking Permit. First, select the district (above) for which you want
a permit and then, on the parking district’s web page, select the document(s) to complete
and submit as noted on the instructions.
- Residential Parking
Permit Application (RPPA)
- Instructions
for Residential Permit Application
- Property Owner
- Tenant Information Form (POTIF)
Please review the instructions and complete the application. Tenants
must complete an application and have the property owner complete and sign the Property
Owner-Tenant Information Form. Payment methods and locations are noted on the Instructions
Form. Please contact the number at the bottom of the Instructions should you have
any questions.
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 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 back window.
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.
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.
