For the purpose of information validation, we require you to share your vehicle and ICBC insurance information with us. To uphold your privacy and protect you from fraud, you are required to apply for your permit in person. We will not issue permits to anyone acting as a proxy, regardless of their relationship or connection to you.
Resident Parking Permits are assigned to specific license plate numbers and Visitor Parking Permits are assigned to a specific UNA address.
Parking Permits may only be issued for and used within a resident’s own neighbourhood. If the assigned licence plate number & issued neighbourhood are not a match to the vehicle’s licence plate & parking location, it will be towed.
Permit expiry is based on the specific term of your neighbourhood. Any annual permits purchased after the start of the permit term are prorated at $0.38 per day, plus applicable taxes.

Eligible refunds will be prorated daily. The outstanding amount will be refunded, minus an administration fee.

Students or residents who wish to obtain parking permits and maintain out-of-province vehicle registration should contact ICBC and show us proof of a local address on the ICBC approval document, MV1804A. For information, call ICBC at 604-443-4624 or 1-800-665-4336.
The UNA offers free parking locations for up to two hours and the option to apply for a daily parking pass for longer stays (15 days free for each household). In addition, you can purchase a Visitor Parking Permit that allows parking for up to 48 hours.
Please inform your guests of the following:
SPARC permit holders can park in the on-street accessible stalls if they display a valid UNA Parking Permit (either a Residential Parking Permit, Visitor Parking Permit or Day Pass ). Residents can also apply to setup an accessible stall near their residence address. Submit your accessible stall application to the UNA by emailing parking@myuna.ca. Requests will be reviewed and granted on a case-by-case basis.
Service and maintenance vehicles are permitted to park in designated parking permit areas, provided they are identified as legitimate service providers or contractors. The vehicle must display identifying markings, such as a company logo, on the exterior. If a service provider or contractor uses a private vehicle without identifying marks, they will have to park in the building’s allotted guest parking, or obtain a UNA daily parking pass or a UNA visitor parking pass. Note that a handwritten letter and a request to call the vehicle owner are not acceptable substitutes for the above requirements and will be considered a violation of the UNA’s parking conditions.
Only maintenance or service vehicles used by contractors who are actively providing a service are allowed to park in designated parking permit areas. Residents who drive or own maintenance or service vehicles must obtain a permanent parking permit by contacting parking@myuna.ca.
The UNA does not reserve parking spaces for moving purposes. Moving trucks, like service vehicles, can use permit parking stalls without a permit, if they have a company logo clearly displayed on the vehicle. Residents may use their own personal vehicles to reserve preferred parking stalls, using their Resident Parking Permit or Day Passes.
No, parking a moving container near your front door is prohibited. Containers can only be parked within designated parking bays on the street, and this requires prior approval from the UNA. To request an approval, please email parking@myuna.ca with the details of your move including the time and date/s of your move, the container’s size, the transport company you are using, and the contact information of the transport company.
Parking decals should be displayed on the inside of the windshield, free of obstruction, on the lower left corner of the window (on the driver’s side).
