Replacement permits cannot be purchased online. If you have sold your vehicle or your car has been in an accident and you need a replacement permit, you must obtain a new permit at City Hall for a $2 fee. Please make sure to bring in the old sticker to be inactivated when purchasing a replacement.
I sold my car, how do I get a replacement permit? Parking permits are not transferrable from one vehicle to another. If you sell your car or if your car is in an accident you must return your old permit to receive a new parking permit for your current vehicle. If you do not have your old permit, the DMV Release of Liability or a repair order from the auto repair show must be presented in order to receive a replacement permit. The permits are designed to tear apart and will read VOID after being removed from your vehicle. Write down the number of the current permit before removing it from the vehicle. The fee for a replacement permit is $2.00. For further questions please call 949.497.0346.
How do I transfer my parking permit onto a different vehicle? In order to transfer your current parking permit onto a new vehicle, you must remove the permit from the current vehicle and return the permit to the Cashier counter at City Hall. It is recommended that you write down the permit number before you begin to peel the permit off your current vehicle. (As a security feature, these permits/stickers are designed to tear apart when removed after the initial application.) Bring the permit into the Cashier at City Hall and complete the Replacement Request form at the Cashier counter. You must have the VIN# or the license number of the new vehicle in order to obtain the replacement permit for the new vehicle. The fee for a replacement permit is $2.00.
