Residential On-Street Parking

HRM's Parking Permit Program entitles permit holders to park their automobile on the street within a specified area signed "Parking by Permit Only."

The intent of this program is to better manage supply of weekday on-street parking in residential areas where demand is high, thereby minimizing impacts to the residents of the street.

What's New?

Beginning March 1st, 2012* - “Parking by Permit Only” to eight residential streets in Halifax

In summer 2011 the residents of eight streets on the Halifax peninsula voted to implement “parking by permit only” on their streets on a trial basis.  The new parking control will be in effect Monday to Friday. From 8:00am to 4:00pm. During those times, only residents who have purchased annual parking exemptions and non-residents who have purchased monthly parking permits will be allowed to park on these streets.
