RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT (RPP) PROGRAM

Residential Parking Permits allow Annapolis residents to park their vehicles on-street in one of the five (5) designated Special Parking Districts where they reside (See Map). The program is governed by the Annapolis City Code of Ordinances Chapter 12.32– Special Residential Parking Districts.

The purpose of the City’s Resident Parking regulation is to maximize the availability of parking for Annapolis residents while discouraging long-term parking on residential streets near or within commercially zones areas.

Annual residential parking permits may be purchased online or in person. Our office is located at 60 West Street, Suite 106. The office is open Monday – Friday, 8AM – 4PM. Parking is available in the Gott’s Court Garage. Look for the first few spaces on the left as you enter via the Calvert Street side.

Stickers are required to be placed on your vehicle and should be fixed to the rear-windshield on the driver’s side. Stickers will be mailed to those purchasing online and are available in the office for those who purchase their permit in person.

PURCHASE ANNUAL AND TEMPORARY PERMITS

A City of Annapolis resident is ONLY eligible for a resident permit when the residents’ address is located on one of the streets listed within one of the five (5) Special Residential Parking Districts (See Map). Please note that residency criteria for the purpose of obtaining parking tickets has changed in accordance with City Ordinance O-4-19 enacted by the City Council on April 29, 2019.

Except for areas designated as metered, reserved, no parking zones, handicap parking or any other restricted parking; a valid resident permit authorizes a resident of that district to park all day on the designated streets within that special district.

Parking is permitted on posted streets only and not at parking meters, red lines, loading zones, handicapped spaces, or in areas prohibited by sign or law. Available parking spaces are not guaranteed.

All annual permits expire each year on June 30th. Permit renewals begin June 1st.
