Full Breakdown

GRC 8.25.020 caps how long a vehicle may sit within posted time-limit zones, but subsection (3) exempts vehicles carrying a valid residential parking permit inside residential areas the city manager has designated. Residents of a designated area can apply to the manager for a permit by showing sufficient proof of residency, after which the posted aggregate time limits under 8.25.020(1)-(2) no longer apply to their vehicle in that neighborhood.

Violations & Fines

Parking beyond the posted time limit without a valid residential permit in a designated area is an unlawful-parking violation, fined up to $250 under GRC 8.25.010(13).
