A parking permit is proof that a vehicle is allowed to park in a particular place, such as a lot, a zone or one numbered space, for a set period. Whoever enforces the parking checks for it, and a vehicle without one can be warned or cited under the property's rules.
Cities issue permits for street parking in residential zones. Private properties, such as apartment buildings, HOAs, campuses and offices, issue their own for their own lots. A permit may be a hangtag, a window sticker, or a digital record tied to the plate.
In Parken Lot
Parken Lot issues permits for private property, not for city streets.
- A permit is issued automatically when a space is assigned, and ends when the parking ends.
- It is tied to the space and to the occupant's registered plates, and carries a short code and, if the property allows it, a QR code.
- Anybody can check it from its QR code, without an account, and sees whether it is valid right now: a revoked, expired or suspended permit says so.
