Parking Management Branch

The Parking Management Branch attends to the parking concerns of residents in the City of Vancouver. For information about residential parking, refer to the links listed on the left.

Residential Parking Regulations:
The City of Vancouver recognizes that residents have a priority in parking on their streets and have a few ways to help reduce outside parking pressures. One of the measures that applies to most streets in Vancouver is the Three Hour By-Law.

By-law No. 2849, Section 17.6(f) prohibits non-resident parking in front of any property for more than 3 hours between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

This by-law is meant to restrict commuters from regularly parking all day on residential streets. It is enforced on a complaint basis only, and usually only when a vehicle is found to be repeatedly in violation. The by-law is not meant to restrict legitimate visitors or area residents from parking on their own street. Residents may phone Parking Enforcement to report an offending vehicle. Two other possible parking programs that are used to help residents in parking close to their homes are:

• Resident Parking Only
• Resident Permit Parking
