Residents who reside on streets that are permit only may acquire temporary visitor parking permits. These permits are valid for one day at a time and are available in books of ten at no charge. These permits are not pre-dated and can be obtained in advance and used on an as needed basis. Residents who would like to acquire permanent street parking permits may do so through the Finance Department located in Village Hall (proof of residency is required).
