Full Breakdown

Sec. 14-11 of the Code of Ordinances creates Greenwich's residential permit parking program: on the streets and street segments the Town designates in Schedule X, no vehicle may park during the posted days and hours unless it displays the correct residential permit in the required spot. Sec. 14-10.1 governs how those permits work townwide, covering Schedule X along with the other permit schedules. Permits run for a one-year term at the annual cost set in Schedule XA, and Sec. 14-10.1(d) prorates a permit bought after the season's initial sales window to the first of the purchase month, except for the separate Byram Parking Permit.

Losing a permit costs the full annual fee again plus a ten-dollar administrative charge to replace it, but a stolen permit's replacement drops to just the ten-dollar administrative fee once the holder files a police report. Sec. 14-10.1(e) also covers permits the Town mails but that never arrive: reporting non-delivery within thirty days of issuance costs only the ten-dollar fee, while reporting it later means paying the full annual fee again on top of that ten dollars. Parking on a permit street without displaying one draws a fifty-five dollar fine under the Sec.

14-34(b) schedule, listed as 'No permit,' with 'Improper permit' carrying the same fifty-five dollar fine. The Board of Selectmen, acting as the Traffic Authority, administers the underlying parking regulations these permit streets sit within.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a residential permit street without displaying the required permit is fined fifty-five dollars under the 'No permit' line of the Sec. 14-34(b) penalty schedule, and displaying an improper or mismatched permit carries the same fifty-five dollar fine. Losing a valid permit costs the full annual fee again plus a ten-dollar administrative charge to replace it under Sec. 14-10.1(d).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a residential parking permit in Greenwich?
Sec. 14-10.1 sets the process: apply for the annual permit at the cost listed in Schedule XA for a one-year term, covering the residential streets designated in Schedule X under Sec. 14-11. Permits bought after the season's initial sales window are prorated to the first of that purchase month, except for the separate Byram Parking Permit.
What if I park on a permit-only street without one?
The Sec. 14-34(b) penalty schedule fines it fifty-five dollars under the 'No permit' category, the same fifty-five dollars charged for displaying an improper or expired permit. The fine can double or triple under Sec. 14-34(d) if it goes unpaid past fifteen or thirty days.
What does it cost to replace a lost Greenwich parking permit?
The full annual permit fee again, plus a ten-dollar administrative fee, under Sec. 14-10.1(d). If the permit was stolen rather than lost, filing an official police report of the theft reduces the replacement cost to just the ten-dollar administrative fee.
