Improving Residential Parking in 2026!

The City of Monterey is introducing updates to the Residential Parking Program making parking more convenient and efficient for our residents. See map of residential permit zones.

Since the start of the Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program, residents have been required to apply for permits in person, filling out paper forms, submitting copies of documents, and being available during Parking Division business hours. We recognize that this process is outdated, time-consuming, and inconvenient for residents. For years, there has been a growing request for an online option, and it's time to transition to a more efficient system.

The new online portal will allow residents to create accounts, apply for permits, upload supporting documents, and manage their vehicles, including adding, changing, or removing them as needed. This technology will also improve how our staff manages the RPP Program, enabling smoother operations both behind the scenes and in the field. Ultimately, modernizing the program will provide a more convenient experience for residents and improve service for RPP neighborhoods. We understand that some residents may prefer in-person assistance, and our office will still be available for support for those who choose to visit us for assistance.
