Parking Permit Purchase Process

Vernon’s parking permit purchases move to app in 2025

Nov 26, 2024 | 12:56 PM

People wishing to purchase parking permits in Vernon in the future will need to do so online.

The City of Vernon will transition to an online system in 2025, meaning people will need to buy their passes through the HotSpot parking app.

Annual parking permits will be available for purchase from Jan. 1 through to 15, with monthly permits available for purchase on the first day of each month, with the exception of January when permits will be on sale on Jan. 4.

Each HotSpot account will be limited to the purchase of just one permit per lot, be it monthly or yearly.

Hang tags will still need to be displayed in 2025, with the City of Vernon saying they will be available for pick-up at City Hall on the business day following the purchase of the pass. Valid identification will be required to verify the identity of the purchaser ar the time of pick-up.
