How to Get Valet Parking Permits
Valet permits allow for placing a valet stand in the public right-of-way. All vehicle parking must be located on private property. Permits are issued for annual and single-day operations. Annual permits are issued for the period between July 1 and June 30th.
On-Street Valet Parking Permits are issued at the sole discretion of the Department of Transportation Mobility Division. Any permit may be terminated for violation of the Valet Parking Regulations or for violation of the terms of the permit or for violation of statutes or ordinances, including the Vehicle Code.
