Toronto begins enforcing on-street parking permits Friday
TORONTO, ON., August 14, 2020 — Toronto residents all knew this was coming, but today at midnight, the City of Toronto is resuming permit parking enforcement on residential streets in the city. Enforcement, as well as the renewal and issuance of residential street parking permits, had been paused due to COVID-19.
The period to renew existing, or purchase new, six and twelve-month on-street parking permits began on July 2 when the parking permit office resumed operation. The renewal period deadline was extended until August 7 to maximize the window for residents.
Temporary daily and weekly parking permits can be purchased online anytime at toronto.ca/parking.
Existing permit holders have been contacted directly by mail throughout the month of July and parking permit office hours were extended for phone and email inquiries. Information about the renewal period was shared by the City’s social media accounts and toronto.ca was updated with details, including a convenient online renewal system that uses licence plate information.
While the parking permit office remains closed to the public, it can be accessed by phone at 416-392-7873 or email at permit.parking@toronto.ca, with extended hours from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday.
