The Monthly Permits are activated by scratching of the MONTH, DAY, and YEAR on the placard. The date you should scratch off should be the same day you receive and start using the Permit placard. Failure to properly activate your Permit may result in parking tickets. Do not activate other Permits prior to using them. Example: If you scratch off August 15, 2015, your monthly Permit is valid until September 14, 2015. On September 15, 2015, activate your new monthly Permit.
The Annual Permits are validated with an expiration date when they are mailed to your mailing address. The expiration date is 1 year and 1 week from the postmarked date. One additional week is added to allow time for delivery. For example, if your Permit was mailed on September 1, 2015, it will be validated with an expiration date of September 7, 2016.
Your Permit will be mailed to the mailing address you entered in our online portal when you made your account. So, please make sure your address is correct. If you need to change your address for future permits, you can contact us at parking@townofchapelhill.org or (919) 968-2758.
