Parking stickers let you park your vehicle on a street usually reserved for residents. Parking stickers can be purchased during several periods of the year.

Description

Fees vary based on the date of purchase, the type of vehicle (electric, hybrid, gas-powered) and its cylinder capacity, and the sticker validity period.

There are several types of stickers.

On this page:

Residents-only parking sticker

Only one sticker is permitted per vehicle and per primary driver.

Several stickers can be issued for the same address in cases where people live together (roommates, family) and each occupant has their own vehicle.

After the first sticker is issued, a higher fee is applied to subsequent stickers, which are considered additional stickers for the same address.

Parking stickers reserved for non-occupant owners

Non-occupant owners can get a parking sticker for the area in which the building they own is located.

Temporary visitor parking sticker

This sticker gives visitors temporary access to a parking area usually reserved for residents.

Parking sticker for narrow streets

This sticker lets you temporarily park your vehicle on the side of the street where it is usually prohibited, or to access other reserved parking areas.

Short-term parking sticker

This type of sticker is offered in only a few boroughs.

Self-service vehicle parking

This sticker allows self-service vehicle drivers to park on streets usually reserved for residents. It is offered only in a few boroughs.

Parking sticker for a car sharing vehicle

This sticker lets drivers use parking spaces just for shared cars and separate from those reserved for residents.

Parking sticker for a company vehicle

This sticker lets an employee or a contractor park a company vehicle in a residents-only parking space, if the employee or contractor lives on the same street.
