Full Breakdown
Under Sioux Falls Code § 77.088, a temporary loading permit lets the holder park at a metered curb space for 15 minutes at a time, once between 8 a.m. and noon and once between noon and 6 p.m., without being cited for overtime under § 77.087(b). Public parking issues these permits annually for an $80 fee under § 41.006 and caps holders at two permits unless public parking approves more. The permit must be displayed on the front dash, driver's side, legible from outside the vehicle, so meter enforcement can see it before writing a ticket.

Occupying a metered curb space past the posted time without a displayed permit is an overtime violation: $10 if paid within seven days, $15 after seven days, $30 after 30 days, $60 after 60 days, per § 77.999.
