June 1st all parking enforcement resumes (Including meters and time zones).
Due to the fact that City Hall is currently closed you cannot get a residential permit at this time.
If you currently have a residential permit and your zone has not changed the permit will automatically be extended to June 30, 2021. You do not need to do anything and there will not be an updated sticker for this extension and do not need to come into City Hall..
It is anticipated City Hall will reopen to the public June 22, at which point you can get a new zone or initial residential permit. Any tickets you receive for the 1 or 2 hour time zones in your residential zone from June 1st through June 30th will be taken back when you get a residential permit.
Please be aware to enter City Hall you will only be allowed access from the Myrtle Street entrance. Additionally you will have to wear a mask and observe a minimum of 6 ft social distancing.
The Parking Division manages on and off street parking to support the safety and parking needs of residents, visitors, businesses, and other departments helping to make Portland a safe, livable, and economically vibrant city.
The consistent and fair enforcement of parking regulations, parking meter management, and the operation and oversight of parking garages and lots are the most visible ways in which we support the city’s mission of “Strengthening A Remarkable City-Building a Community for Life.” Through our assistance in traffic control during emergencies and special events to the administration of the school crossing guide program, we further enhance the public safety needs of our community. We aim to be responsive to the needs of our customers and co-workers, and we strive to provide excellent service at all times.
Parking Regulations
The information on this site is intended to assist you, the motorist, in understanding Portland’s parking regulations and to help you make the most suitable parking arrangement when visiting the city.
Commercial Area Streets
Streets in the commercial areas of the city serve many competing interests. Primarily designed for moving traffic, the general public, delivery trucks, taxis, and buses all vie for space making the urban street one of the most sought-after resources. Parking enforcement is vital to ensure this resource is used to the maximum benefit of the community.
Division Goals
We strive to:
Support the on-street parking system by equitably and consistently enforcing the parking regulations
Encourage compliance of the city's parking regulations
Promote traffic and pedestrian safety
Maximize the capacity of the existing parking supply through increased turnover
Protect access needed for commerce and public convenience, clear freight loading zones of all day commuters to allow adequate delivery space for commercial businesses, and provide for a more efficient delivery of goods and services
Enhance the quality of life in residential neighborhoods by keeping residential areas free of downtown commuters
