About Apply for a Parking Permit

Residents living within a permit-restricted parking zone are eligible for residential parking permits. Enter your address into the Residential Parking Permit District Map to check your eligibility.

Each household receives two visitor parking permits in addition to the residential parking permit. Residential and visitor permits are valid only within your designated parking zone and are not transferable to another zone.

The three-year renewal rate for parking permits is $15 per vehicle. Rates decrease by $5 per year on a
prorated basis until the end of each cycle:

  • Year 1: $15
  • Year 2: $10
  • Year 3: $5

How to Apply

Community members can apply online or submit a completed application in person or by mail to the Rockville City Police Station. A copy of your vehicle registration or proof of residency must be included. Please allow five to seven business days for processing.

Types of Parking Permits

Each vehicle that is registered to, being transferred to, or has proof of ownership connected to an address within a residential parking district is eligible to apply for a residential parking permit.

Each household within a residential parking district is authorized two visitor permits at no cost with the purchase of a residential parking permit. These permits are valid for the duration of the cycle. Residents may not use visitor permits. Anyone caught unlawfully using a visitor permit will be fined $60 for the first offense and $100 for each subsequent offense.

Temporary parking permits are available on a case-by-case basis for residents in a residential parking district. A temporary parking permit can be purchased for up to one year at a rate of $1 per month. This application must be completed in person at the Rockville City Police Station.
