The employee preferential parking permit is intended to facilitate the ability of business owners and employees to find on-street parking for their vehicles in proximity to their work places within designated areas.

Business owners within 200 feet of the designated preferential parking area are eligible to purchase employee parking permits.

Businesses must provide a valid Santa Rosa business tax certificate. A maximum of 25 permits per business are available. Parking is subject to availability and the permit does not guarantee a parking spot. Employees with a valid permit will be exempt from the posted parking time limits in the preferential permit zone.   A permit costs $25/month.
