Is your home the gathering place for all your friends and family? The City of Vaughan is making it easier for you to accommodate everyone for all of your celebrations. On April 11, the City’s visitor parking program is changing to give residents more flexibility, and make it faster to get parking permits for your guests.
The
new process is entirely electronic, which grants a permit instantly, removes
the need to print or display a permit in the vehicle and makes it easier for enforcement
officers to check if a vehicle has permission to park. The guidelines have also
changed to allow for more consecutive parking days for a single vehicle. The
limit has been raised to 10 days in a row from five days, for a maximum of 60
days in a year. There is now a $7 fee per permit to maintain the new program.
To
use the new service, residents will need to create an account at vaughan.ca/parking
and submit proof of their address, such as a driver’s licence or a recent utility
bill. Then residents can log on at any time to purchase permits.
Valid
visitor parking permits allow your guests to park on the street at any time,
but does not exempt them from other parking violations.
Visitor,
construction and monthly parking permits can still be obtained in person at Vaughan
City Hall and over the phone at 905-832-2281, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. Parking permits are an important tool used to regulate parking so
streets and walkways can remain safe and functional. The City of Vaughan is
committed to Service Excellence and improving services to fit the needs of our
residents.
