Residential Parking Districts

Corvallis has three residential parking districts established by Municipal Code 6.15:

  • District A is generally bordered on the east by Arnold Way/27th Street, on the west by 33rd, on the north by Harrison and on the south by Johnson
  • District B is from 14th Street, west to 23rd and from the north side of Monroe to south side of Harrison
  • District C is from the alley between 6th and 7th Streets west to 9th Street and from Van Buren Avenue south to Washington Avenue.

To park on the street in these areas for longer than two hours requires a parking permit. Please note that even with a permit, residents are still subject to Municipal Code 6.10.040.040, which prohibits parking on any City street for longer than 48 hours.

Without a parking permit, parking is restricted to two hours, once a day, Monday through Friday, from 8:00AM to 5:00PM. Anyone parking longer than two hours within any district is subject to a parking citation. Also, those parking for more than one two-hour period is subject to a citation. In other words, you cannot park for two hours, leave, come back and park in the district for another two hours. Residents should advise guests of this requirement.

Permit Guidelines

  1. Each residential address is allowed a maximum of three permits.
  2. Permits are $25 each and are valid for one year, from September 1st through August 31st. New permits must be purchased each year.
  3. Permits issued for one district are not valid in the other two. For example, District A permits are not valid in either District B or District C.
  4. Municipal Code states the permit must be attached to the left rear bumper or the lower left corner of the back window of the vehicle. You are subject to a citation if the permit is not displayed in one of these two locations.
  5. Residents may not buy a permit for one car and put it on another. If you sell the vehicle, remove the permit and bring it to Corvallis Public Works, 1245 NE 3rd Street. Upon surrender of the old permit, a new one will be issued at no charge. Please note that the old permit must be returned.
  6. Residential parking permits do not apply to parking meters or permit lots.  
  7. Daily Temporary Parking permits are available at Public Works, 1245 NE 3rd Street, for Residential Parking Permit holders that have guests visiting for more than two hours. These will not be issued unless the resident has an annual residential parking district permit.
  8. Contractors working in residential parking districts can use this form to apply for a courtesy parking permit. Return the completed application to Public Works and allow seven days for processing.

Residential Parking District Formation or Expansion Process

In February 2022 City Council suspended the expansion and formation of Residential Parking Districts. This moratorium will provide the City an opportunity to evaluate the impacts of recent mandates from the state’s Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities rules and middle housing regulations.
