Dublin, CA Parking Rules: Preferential Parking Districts (2026)

275, adopted by Ordinance 2-98, authorizes the City Council to designate certain streets or portions of streets where parking is restricted to residents, merchants, or other designated groups that have been issued a permit exempting them from the general parking prohibitions or restrictions on that block. The section is deliberately conditional: a preferential parking area 'shall not apply until signs or markings have been placed giving adequate notice thereof,' meaning the Council's designation alone does not create an enforceable restriction until physical signage is installed on the street.

260 (designated-hours restrictions), all of which depend on Council or City Manager designation followed by posted notice before the restriction binds drivers. 275 does not itself list which streets carry preferential permits or set permit fees; those specifics are established block-by-block through Council ordinance or resolution rather than being hard-coded in the municipal code, so a resident checking eligibility for a permit on a particular Dublin street needs to check whether the City Council has designated that block and whether signage has gone up.
