Residential Parking

The Residential Parking Program is overseen by the Parking Administration Office.

According to the City of Worcester Revised Ordinances Chapter 13 §40; No person shall park any vehicle in any area posted “resident parking only” without a properly displayed, valid and current resident parking sticker

All parking fines and/or penalties and all excise taxes and/or penalties due to the City of Worcester on all vehicles registered to all household members must be paid in full prior to issuance of any stickers or permits to household members. The new permits will be mailed to the address on record or given in person at the Parking Administration Office when all the information has been verified.

Permits must be renewed by July 1 and are valid through June 30. If a permit is not renewed by July 1, any ticket issued due to an expired Resident Parking Permit will be the responsibility of the Registered Owner.

No sticker or pass shall be issued unless all required proof of residency, ownership or professional service is provided as follows:
