How It Works
What This Site Shows
This site tells you whether a specific block requires a residential parking permit from the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
That's it. We show permit requirements. Nothing more.
⚠️ What This Site Does NOT Show
- Parking Meters
- Time Limits (2-hour parking, etc.)
- Loading Zones
- Street Cleaning schedules
- Other Rules (fire hydrants, driveways, etc.)
🚨 Our Data May Be Outdated
New permit zones can be added at any time. City Council can approve new zones through legislation.
Our data refreshes weekly via automation, but even the source data from Philadelphia may lag behind reality. A street that shows "no permit" today might have new signs tomorrow.
We cannot guarantee this information is current or accurate.

How to Park Safely
- Check this site for residential permit requirements
- If "no permit required," proceed to the street
- Look at ALL posted signs on the block
- Check for: meters, time limits, restrictions
- Pay any required meter fees
- Park legally and follow all posted rules
The Golden Rule: Posted street signs are the ONLY official source.
If this site says "no permit" but you see permit signs on the street, the signs are correct. Trust the signs.
