You must be a resident of an RPP area with a current vehicle registration to obtain a residential parking permit. In accordance with Article 31, Section 83, of the Baltimore City Code, a permit will not be issued to a commercial vehicle. (Commercial vehicle is classified as one of the following: has logos or advertisement; is loaded with supplies or equipment; and, is designed to carry 10 or more passengers.)

Vehicles Must Be Registered to an RPP Address

• A member of the Armed Forces (Identification card must be provided, required proof of residency and vehicle registration.)

• Sufficient notarized documentation to certify exclusive use of a vehicle not registered in their name. (Required proof of residency and current vehicle registration.)

Note: Maryland Law prohibits local authorities from issuing an RPP permit in excess of 30 days to any vehicle registered outside of Maryland unless the owner of the vehicle has obtained a Maryland MVA Nonresident Permit. A copy of the processed MVA Nonresident Permit application (form VR-111) must be presented to the Parking Authority of Baltimore City (PABC) in order to obtain an RPP permit in excess of 30 days. A nonresident Permit does not negate the requirements for an RPP Permit. For MVA Nonresident Permit application information please contact the MVA office at 1-800-950-1682.

Once you have properly registered your vehicle with MVA, please return and submit your new vehicle registration or new change of address card to the Parking Authority of Baltimore City.
