Overnight Municipal Lot Parking Permit
Residents of downtown Woodstock with no designated parking space can use our municipal parking lots free Monday – Saturday from 6 p.m. - 8 a.m. and all day Sunday. Residents should use these free lots because there is a maximum of 3 hours for 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 daily, monthly, semi-annual or annual parking permit or if you scan the QR Code located in our municipal lots if you are parking for the day only and don't wish to create an account through Hotspot Parking App.
To ensure our lots are cleared properly after a snow event, please park the designated side of that lot for the day when your vehicle will be parked between 2 a.m. - 6 a.m.. Signs will note which side of the lot you should park in for a particular day of the week.
The following municipal lots are the only lots where overnight parking is permitted between Dec. 1 - March 31:
- Market Centre Lot
- Brock Street Lot
- Light Street Lot
- Adelaide Street East Lot
- Cole Walkway Lot
Temporary Overnight Parking Permit
Residents can apply for a Temporary Overnight Parking Permit during our winter season (Dec. 1 to Mar. 31) if you have an overnight guest that is staying with you during this time to avoid being ticketed between 2am-6am parking restrictions. These permits will not be able to exceed 14 days per property during the winter season. The permit fee is $5 (including tax) per week. Please note that your application must be approved before you or your guest is able to park on the street overnight.
Temporary Parking for Construction Permit
Street parking for construction vehicles and refuse bins due to a construction or renovation project in the downtown area can be granted through a Temporary Parking for Construction Permit. The permit allows a contractor's vehicle and/or refuse bin to be parked or located on the street in our downtown core area beyond the 3-hour time restriction. The permit fee is $20 (including tax) per parking space, per week. You can submit your application via email or in person at 944 James St. (Engineering/Public Works Building)
