Short Term On-Street Parking Registration

Review our registration guidelines to understand our short term on-street parking permit program:

• 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.
• 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 your vehicle falls within on 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.
• Residents of apartment buildings and housing complexes are not eligible.

Not all vehicles are eligible to register for short term on-street parking. Enforcement will issue a parking ticket if one of the following vehicles is found parking on the street:

• Commercial-use vehicles measuring more than 2.6 meters in width or 7 meters in length or weighing more than 5,000 kg
• Recreational vehicles, camper trailers, pop-up trailers or open landscaping trailers measuring more than 2 meters in height or 7 meters in length
• Closed trailers measuring more than 2.6 meters in height or 4 meters in length

In order to create an account in the registration system, you are required to:

• Be a Whitby resident.
• Upload proof of current residency.  The following items are acceptable as proof of residency: copy of valid government ID, rental agreement, tax bill, or current utility bill showing your name and address.

A short term temporary parking exemption is used to allow residents to register vehicles of guests, contractors, or other infrequent visitors for a FREE short-term parking permit. This permit exempts vehicles from the following elements of the Traffic By-law:

• 3 hour on-street parking limit;
• Overnight parking (2 a.m. to 6 a.m.), subject to winter maintenance conditions.

All other general Parking By-laws remain valid.

For large events such as weddings or large family gatherings, please contact Transportation Services at least two weeks in advance to arrange the appropriate parking measures.
