The Commercial Services Parking Permit is issued by the city to businesses or corporations that offer commercial services within the city. This includes, but is not limited to, services such as building renovations (e.g., plumbing, electrical work), painting, healthcare, and cleaning services. 

The permit is to be used only when commercial services are actively being performed at a residence or business in the city. These services must be accompanied by a valid city-issued building permit, where applicable, that has been properly issued by the city. 

The fee for the Commercial Services Parking Permit is $250.00 per vehicle, and it is issued on an annual basis. This permit allows the operator of the vehicle to park on public roadways in the city and exempts them from limited-time parking requirements and loading zone restrictions from Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. However, the exemption for loading zone restrictions is limited to a maximum of two hours.

Please note that the parking permit is not valid for use in metered parking spaces.
