Parking Permits
Overnight parking permits are required for parking on City streets during restricted hours. The City of Sierra Madre offers temporary and annual parking permits for eligible vehicles and residents.
Please review the information below carefully to determine which permit applies to your situation.
Temporary Overnight Parking Permits
Annual overnight parking permits may be issued only when all existing legal parking spaces on the owner’s property are occupied by operating vehicles, and when no additional legal parking space exists.
This does not apply to garages being used for storage instead of parking vehicles.
Vehicle Eligibility and Restrictions
The following vehicles are not eligible for annual parking permits:
- Trailers
- Commercial vehicles
- Recreational vehicles
- Vehicles not registered to the applicant’s address
- Vehicles with expired or invalid registration
Commercial trucks over seven feet in width or height are not permissible per City Code 10.24.230(B).
City-Owned Parking Lots and Street Parking
City-owned public parking lots are available for public use while visiting or conducting business in the City. Posted signage identifies parking restrictions and time limits.
Parking on public streets is available throughout the City; however, vehicles parked or left standing on a highway for 72 or more consecutive hours may be cited, towed, and stored.
Commercial vehicles may not be parked for more than five hours in residential districts, except when actively loading or unloading.
Parking regulations are enforced by the Sierra Madre Police Department in accordance with City and State law. Always review posted signage before parking.
