Preferential Parking PermitsPreferential parking regulations manage the use of on-street parking to assist residents with valid permits and their guests in finding parking near their homes. A preferential parking permit exempts a vehicle from preferential parking restrictions within the specified zone and within a two-block radius of the registered address only. Preferential parking permits do not exempt permit holders from other parking regulations such as curb markings, alleys, parking meters, street sweeping, oversize vehicle regulations, or anywhere else where parking is prohibited. Preferential parking permits are for residential purposes only. Use of preferential parking permits for any other purposes violates the Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Chapter 3.08 and may subject the violators to citation and/or more severe forms of punishment. Preferential Parking EligibilityOnly residents who live on a block with preferential parking restrictions are eligible to purchase a Resident or Visitor permit [SMMC 3.08]. To determine the status of your block, please review the Preferential Parking Map using the key below:Red Blocks: Preferential parking restrictions have already been implemented (eligible). Blue Blocks: The City Council has pre-approved restrictions for your block; however, a petition is required before restrictions will be implemented (not eligible).
