Difference between Residential Parking Permit and Residential Pickup
Truck or Van Permit
A Residential Parking Permit costs $25 and allows you to park in a Residential Parking Permit zone which can be as small as one block. If you live in a zoned area you need both permits to park legally. A Residential Parking Permit can be obtained from the Office of the City Clerk by clicking here.

Fine for violating this ordinance
A $25 ticket will be issued to any non-permitted pickup truck or van parked on a residential street or for any pickup truck or van parked in any ward not listed above.
