Permit Parking

Permit parking is a convenient option that saves you money. Customers may purchase most permits on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis (some restrictions apply) at a considerable discount from the published meter rates. Permits can be obtained for either parking structures or surface lots.  

Permit customers park in specifically designated spaces and are always guaranteed a parking space. In certain locations, permits are restricted to City of White Plains residents only. In this case, the following proof of residency is required for purchase:

  • Copy of a house deed, property tax bill, lease, or current utility bill (the address on the driver’s license must match address on the document) in resident parker’s name
  • Valid New York drivers license showing resident parker’s name and a City of White Plains address
  • Vehicle Registration for each plate number listed on permit with same information as license
