The existing Resident Only Parking permits expire at midnight on December 31, 2022. The City of Fullerton will begin using a new parking permit portal. Everyone must register for a new account online by visiting https://fullerton.getapermit.net. You will be required to upload a current and valid utility bill (gas, electricity or water) to create your permit account. The utility bill must be in your name in order for your account to be approved. Once the uploaded document is validated, you will be able to log back in to pay for your permit.

The total number of permits/placards issued to a single property is limited to five (5) permits per household. Lost or stolen permits will not be replaced.
The $10.00 annual issuance fee assessed per household participating in the permit program remains unchanged; the cost of each permit/placard is $2.00 (limit 5). The maximum assessed to any participating property is $20.00. The aforementioned fees will not be charged to residents who do not request permits.

Participation in the permit process is optional; however, vehicles without said permit will be prohibited from parking on the street between the hours of the restriction. The following holidays are exempt for Residential Permit Parking: New Years Eve, New Years Day, Martin Luther King Day, Lincoln’s Birthday, Presidents Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and the immediate Friday thereafter, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day, as well as General or Special Election days.

Resident Only Permit Parking does not exempt a vehicle from Section 8.44.080 of the Fullerton Municipal Code pertaining to “Early Morning Parking” between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

If you have any questions regarding the new parking permit portal or need assistance registering for an account or ordering your permit, Permit Support is available by emailing support@getapermit.net. Responses will be sent Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.

Permit parking in the City of Fullerton is available to regulate and manage residential on-street parking problems associated with student parking. Although the City recognizes it is desirable to allow residents to park legally on any public street, it also recognizes the inconvenience that repetitive and long-term parking has on the affected residents. The goal is to create fair and equitable usage of residential on-street parking areas.

Report violations to: PD Traffic Bureau at (714) 738-5313.
