Boston, Massachusetts

Resident parking permit terms

No permit charge; vehicle and neighborhood specific

Boston resident parking permits have no charge. Each permit is tied to a specific vehicle and plate and is valid only for the neighborhood where the permit holder lives. Boston does not issue visitor parking permits.

Conditions

The City still verifies residency, registration and insurance at the current Boston address, neighborhood eligibility and outstanding-ticket requirements. This page is not an application, approval, permit issuance, curb-space guarantee or exemption from posted restrictions.
