The Downtown Residential Parking District (DRPD) Permit, formerly the Residential Parking Pass, started as a pilot program and continues to evolve. Not all residential buildings within the Paid Parking Zone participate in the DRPD program.
The Downtown Residential Parking District Permit is issued by the City to a landlord/property manager/property owner according to SMC 16A.06.070. The code designates the administration, rules, and terms for the DRPD Permits. Permits are not issued from the City directly to individuals at this time.
DRPD permits are only for use by residents at ALL-DAY paid parking spaces, which allows the permit holder to hang the placard instead of paying at the ALL-DAY paid parking device. Having a DRPD permit does not prevent permit holders from being subject to other parking regulations according to the Spokane Municipal Code.
The cost of a DRPD permit is $25.00 per month, per permit. This fee may be waived at the discretion of the City of Spokane.
Permits may be purchased online at www.spokanepermits.org.
