Merchant And Resident Parking Permits Now Available In Town Of Wakefield

Press release from the Town of Wakefield:

February 17, 2021

Thanks to a new online permitting system, merchant and resident parking passes can be obtained anytime from the comfort of your home or office. This new platform connects directly to Wakefield’s parking enforcement system, eliminating the need for drivers to hang parking permits in their vehicles.

Merchant permits allow vehicles to park in designated merchant spaces throughout the downtown and Greenwood area. Resident permits waive time restrictions for those who live on the streets indicated below. Permits do not exempt the holder from any other parking violations. Residents will be required to show proof that they are residents of that street by uploading a copy of their registration and driver's license. Registrations must show that the vehicle is garaged in Wakefield. To make changes to your garaged address, please visit the Department of Motor Vehicles. If you are a resident that has more than one vehicle, you will need to create separate account for each vehicle. If you are a merchant applicant, you will need to fill in your business information in the "Contact Information" section.

Purchase a parking permit.

A grace period is in effect until March 6, 2021. After that point, unregistered vehicles will be subject to violation fines. Note that outstanding violations must be cleared before a 2021 permit will be issued. Permits are valid through December 31 and cost a total of $11.00.

Any technical issues regarding the use of BuyMyPermit.com should be addressed to the webmaster@parkingticketpayment.com. Any permit-related questions should be directed to the permit-issuing entity, the Town Administrator's office, at (781) 246-6390.
