Replacement Permits

Replacement permits will only be issued if the actual permit is presented. It must be identifiable as a current permit, display the month it expires, and contain at least part of the permit number. If these conditions are all met, a free replacement permit that expires the same month as the existing permit will be given.

Missing vehicle permits or vehicle permits damaged too badly to meet the above conditions will need to be re-purchased at full price.

Replacement permits can only be issued at the Parks and Recreation office.
