Municipal Parking Lot Permit

We are pleased to offer digital parking permits for our Municipal Parking Lots. Get your permit through the HotSpot Parking Portal or get the HotSpot Parking App from your phone's app store. 

Parking permits are only valid in our Permit Designated Municipal Parking Lots.  Please note, not all municipal parking lots are 'permit designated lots'.  Parking permits are also not valid on any street or in any two-hour only posted lots. You must adhere to all posted signage including overnight parking restrictions.

• Monthly Parking Permit: $36 plus taxes

Overnight Municipal Lot Parking Permit

If you live in downtown Woodstock and do not have a designated parking space, our municipal parking lots offer free parking Monday - Saturday from 6 p.m. - 8 a.m. and all-day Sunday. If you do not have other arrangements, residents should use these free lots because there is a maximum of 5 hours for on street parking. If you need to park your vehicle in our lots between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday - Saturday you can purchase a parking permit or a pay and display ticket. 

Please ensure that you are parking on the side of the lot designated for the day when your car will be parked between 2 a.m. - 6 a.m., there are signs denoting what side of the lot to park in. 

The following municipal lots are the only lots where overnight parking is permitted between Dec. 1 - March 31:

• Market Centre Lot

• Light Street Lot
• Adelaide Street East Lot
• Cole Walkway Lot

Temporary Overnight Parking Permit

If you require overnight street parking for guests or can't access your driveway due to repairs or construction, you can apply for a Temporary Overnight Parking Permit. This type of permit will not be issued for more than 14 days per property, per season. Please note that your permit application must be approved before parking on the street. The permit fee is $5 (including tax) per week. The fee will be waived if the owner can't access their driveway due to public utility or City work.

Temporary Parking for Construction Permit

If you need on street parking for construction vehicles due to a construction or renovation project in the downtown area, you can apply for a Temporary Parking for Construction Permit. This permit allows a contractor's vehicle to be parked or located on the street beyond the 2-hour time restriction. The permit fee is $20 (including tax) per parking space per week. To apply, please complete the Temporary Parking for Construction Permit application and submit via email or in person at 944 James St. 

Please note: Permits are for vehicles only. Portable construction bins cannot be located on city property (except in the downtown core).
