Residential Permits


New Online Permit Portal


Our new online permit portal is live for residential customers. Please review the information below for detailed instructions on how to apply.

Residents


Residents whose property is in a designated zone A, B, C, E, F, G, H, or J area may be eligible to purchase a residential permit which allows residents to park beyond the posted time limits within the appropriate permit zone. Permits must be displayed on the left side of the rear bumper. Vehicles with permits that are not displayed correctly will be ticketed.

All residential parking zone areas allow two-hour parking without a permit during designated times. All zone areas are posted with signs stating the time of day when the two-hour parking limit is enforced. With the appropriate zone permit, you may park beyond the posted time limits. Parking permit rates vary depending on the zone - see the Rates page for more information.

Please note that the maximum number of permits issued is five (5) for properties in Zones A, E, F, G, and J. Eugene City Code allows up to five unrelated persons to live in a residence (see Chapter 9.0500 below). If this code does not apply to your situation, please contact us at parking@ci.eugene.or.us.

City Code Chapter 9.0500:

Family. A person living alone, or any of the following groups living together as a single nonprofit housekeeping unit and sharing common living, sleeping, cooking and eating facilities:

(A) Any number of persons related by blood, marriage, adoption, guardianship or other duly-authorized custodial relationship;

(B) A maximum of 5 unrelated persons;

(C) Two unrelated persons and any parents or children related to either.


Guest Permits


Guest permits are available free of charge in all zones to eligible residents for visitors staying longer than two hours during the posted times. Guest permits are obtainable only by an eligible resident. Residents not currently using the parking program must provide the required information to obtain a guest permit.
