The City Clerk's office issues Temporary Accessible Parking Placards for periods of up to 90 days.

If you have a qualifying temporary disability you may be eligible for a disabled parking placard.

New regulations will no longer allow a person with a accessible parking placard to automatically qualify for meter-exempt parking in cities and municipalities.

Temporary Accessible Parking Placards are limited to one per person. Placards are only valid until the expiration date indicated on the placard. Failure to properly display a parking placard when utilizing a designated disabled parking space may result in a fine.
