Parking Permits

Parking Permit Program for the residents and businesses who live and work in buildings fronting 61st Street (South side between Hollis and Doyle Streets) and 62nd Street (North side between Overland Avenue and Doyle Street).

As residents and businesses in a controlled parking area of Emeryville, you will be able to register, renew, change and/or update your vehicles information and take care of paying the fees directly from the comfort of your home, office or cell phone! 

We do not require hanging permits or stickers be placed on your vehicle, as our system will utilize software to automatically recognize license plates enrolled in the program.

How to obtain your Virtual Permit(s):

  • Visit www.thepermitportal.com and register for a new account.
  • Once you have completed your registration, login using your email address and password you created during registration.

  • Once you submit your permit application, please allow time for the IPS Group to review and approve the permit (new permits take 1 to 2 business days, renewals and changes take 1 business day).
  • Once the application is approved, you will receive an email. Permits are associated with the license plate registered in the program.
