Modern Mississauga and the City of Mississauga have come together to present an ongoing series called “Ask the City.” We’ll share relevant information here and answer your questions about our city.
Today’s question is about street parking.

Can I park my car on City streets overnight?

On-street parking is not allowed from 2 to 6 a.m. year round without a valid permit. On-street parking is allowed, unless otherwise posted, for five hours outside of the 2 to 6 a.m. restriction. Parking on statutory holidays is allowed beyond the five-hour limit between 8 a.m. and midnight.

Temporary Parking Permits

You can apply for a temporary parking permit for your home address. They last for five days and can be used for up to five different vehicles. Each address is allowed a maximum of 14 temporary parking permits per calendar year. 

Permits are not valid in paid parking areas, on private property or where there are prohibitive signs. Ensure you have your vehicle plate numbers before starting the permit request process.

You can obtain a temporary parking permit by calling 311 (905-615-4311 from outside City limits), through the Pingstreet mobile app or online at mississauga.ca/parking.

Paid Extended Parking Permits

If you need to park on-street for more than five days, you can apply for a longer-term residential parking permit. They cost $66 plus tax. Once you submit your application, it can take up to three business days to be reviewed. You may be asked to provide proof to support your request.

To apply, please call 311 (905-615-4311 from outside City limits).

City-issued Accessible Parking Permit

If you have a provincial accessible parking permit and you’re unable to access your home due to driveway restrictions, you can apply for a City-issued accessible parking permit to park on the street in front of your home in Mississauga. 

If you’ve got a question about the City, we want to hear from you! 

Please send your questions to info@modernmississauga.com with “Ask the City” in the subject line.
