If you need an exemption to the three hour on-street parking limit, or the 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. overnight parking restriction between November 1 and April 15, you may register for the short term on-street parking program. Learn more about our parking options and parking ticket information within the Town of Whitby.

How to register

Please register your vehicle for on-street parking by completing the On-Street Parking Online Registration Form at least two days before parking the vehicle. If you submit your registration with less than two days before parking on-street, our Parking Enforcement staff may not be aware of your request and potentially issue a parking ticket.

In your registration, you will need to provide:

• Your name, daytime phone number, and home address
• Licence plate, make, and colour of each vehicle parking on street
• Reasons why vehicles will be parked on street
• Description of the type of trailer if applicable (including camper trailer, pop-up trailer, open landscaping trailer, closed landscaping trailer) along with the width and length of the trailer
• Beginning and end dates the vehicles are expected to be parked on street

If you have any questions, send us an email or call us at 905.430.4322 with the plate number of the vehicle(s). Please provide two weeks' notice for large events and contact Transportation Services as well as for on-street registration for condominiums or apartment complexes.

• If your vehicle falls within one of the ineligible vehicle categories or does not comply with the restriction within the Traffic By-law, your vehicle will be subject to a ticket.
• Each household is permitted to make a maximum of 12 requests for on-street parking registration each calendar year.
• Each request may be for a maximum of 7 days in duration.
• Each request is for a maximum of 5 vehicles.
• Please note that on-street parking registration is not intended to be a solution if you routinely have more vehicles than parking spaces on their property.
• No physical permit will be issued.
• We reserve the right to cancel, revoke or refuse any request for registration.
• Registration is voided during a snow event to allow for the efficient and safe removal of ice and snow.

If you received a parking ticket for any infraction other than what our on-street registration covers, your ticket will not be reviewed and you must pay your parking ticket.
