You will receive your renewal notice by mail at least one month before your permit's expiration date. Renew your permit as soon as possible so you don't get a parking ticket due to an expired permit. If you have outstanding parking tickets, you must pay them before you can be issued a permit. Renewal notices will not be sent to vehicles that, according to the DMV, are no longer registered at the permit address.
Renewal notices can possibly get lost in mail.
Registered Owners are responsible to know when Area permit renews or expires.
Please refer to this page Residential Parking Permit Expiration Dates | SFMTA for your respective Permit Areas.
Annual Fee: $190

License Plate Recognition Enforcement
Changes Beginning March 1, 2021:
Over the next 12 months, SFMTA will transition our RPP Area enforcement to License Plate Recognition (LPR). With LPR technology, enforcement vehicles read license plate numbers as they drive through neighborhoods, checking in real time if vehicles have a permit. Any vehicle without a permit is flagged by the LPR system. A Parking Control Officer will verify that a vehicle has violated the parking rules before issuing a citation.
Beginning March 15, 2022, SFMTA will no longer issue physical sticker permits. Instead, all standard RPP permits will be assigned to vehicle license plates virtually. Caregiver, City Business, Contractor, Short Term, and Teacher permits will continue to be physical permits.
