What is a disabled parking permit?

A disabled parking permit, also known as a handicap parking placard, is a special authorization that allows individuals with qualifying disabilities to park in designated accessible parking spaces.

Who is eligible for a disabled parking permit?

Generally, individuals with mobility impairments, medical conditions, or disabilities that significantly limit their ability to walk may qualify for a disabled parking permit. Documentation from a medical professional is required to prove eligibility.

What’s the difference between a permanent and temporary disabled parking permit?

Permanent disabled parking permits are issued to individuals with long-term or permanent disabilities. Temporary permits are typically granted for a specific period, often related to the duration of a temporary disability, medical treatment, or recovery.

Can someone else use my disabled parking permit?

Disabled parking permits are non-transferable and intended for the use of the individual to whom the permit is issued. Allowing someone else to use your permit without you being present may be considered misuse and could result in penalties.
