  See the attached flyer for details on how to obtain your A-sticker permits.
  
• Special event guest passes
  You can obtain guest passes issued at Denver Fire Station (#12) 2575 Federal Blvd., for special needs such as weddings, funerals and family holiday celebrations.
  -These passes are only for guests visiting your home.
  -The use of the passes is monitored.
  Abuse of resident guest parking passes will result in loss of this privilege.
  
• CALL THE POLICE NON-EMERGENCY DISPATCH NUMBER (720-913-2000) when you see these violations happening: (Crime or safety concerns-Call 911 )

*What is a Residential Parking Permit?
A residential Parking Permit is a decal that is displayed on the rear or front windshield of the vehicle.

*What is the purpose of a Permit?
The permit exempts the resident's vehicle from the posted on-street parking time limit restrictions at the place of the residence. Permits do not guarantee a parking place nor grant parking privileges at another location.

*Who should obtain a Permit?
Anyone who resides on a block with posted parking time limit restrictions and wants a permit for their vehicle. The block must be in a residential zone. Residential Parking Permits do not allow parking without restriction at parking meters, loading zones, no parking anytime zones, or other restricted zones.

*How are permits obtained?
Permits may be obtained in person or by mail. All first time applicants will be expected to:

1. Submit a signed request for a permit. (Preferably an application form obtained from Parking Management.
   
2. Provide acceptable verification of residence. Only documents listed below will be accepted:
   A utility, telephone, or cable television bill dated within the last 30 days; or a current auto insurance document.
   
3. Provide current vehicle registration on the vehicle for which the permit is requested. The name of the applicant and the address for which the permit is requested must be on the registration. The applicant's name and the address where the permit is being requested must be on each document. (Some exceptions may apply to students and/or military personnel.)
   

Individuals who have an annual permit should receive a renewal notice prior to the expiration date. Instructions for renewing the permit are included with the notice. If a renewal notice is not received 14 days prior to the expiration, inquiry should be made to the Parking Management Office.

• How many permits can be obtained?
  Permits are issued for vehicles. The limit on vehicles for any household is one vehicle for each licensed driver of the household plus one vehicle for the household. Permits are issued in accordance with this guideline.
  
• Where can permits be obtained?
  Permits may be obtained by mail or in person at the Parking Management Office: Parking Management, 110 16th Street, Suite 780; Denver, GO 80202
  Individuals applying by mail need to submit one photocopy of each required document. When applying by mail, please allow time for processing and mail delivery.
  
• Can permits be revoked?
  Yes. The use of permits is monitored. Abuse of any of the permits issued to a household may result in revocation of all permits issued to a household.
