Where can I get a merchant or resident parking pass?
Merchant and Resident Parking Permits Now Available
Thanks to a new online permitting system, merchant and resident parking passes can be obtained anytime from the comfort of one’s home or office. The Town Administrators Office cannot process parking permits for individuals. This new platform connects directly to Wakefield’s parking enforcement system, eliminating the need for drivers to hang parking permits in their vehicles. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE AN ACTUAL PERMIT.
PERMITS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.
Merchant permits allow vehicles to park in designated merchant spaces throughout the downtown and Greenwood area. Resident permits waive time restrictions for those who live on the streets indicated below. Permits do not exempt the holder from any other parking violations. Residents will be required to show proof that they are residents of that street by uploading a copy of their registration and driver's license. Registrations must show that the vehicle is garaged in Wakefield. To make changes to your garaged address, please visit the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Any outstanding violations must be cleared before permits will be issued. Permits are valid through December 31 and cost a total of $11.00 which includes a non-refundable processing fee of 3.5% or $1.00 per permit.
