General Information and Application for
HANDICAPPED PARKING PERMITS

 Temporary and Permanent Parking Permits for Village of Johnson City residents only are available from the Village Clerk. In order to apply for a permit, you must complete an application [1] and this must be forwarded to the Village Clerk along with a current Medical Doctor's note showing the name of the individual, their address, and date of birth. The doctor must also indicate the type of disability, how it impairs mobility, and whether it is a permanent or temporary disability. If a temporary disability, the doctor should indicate the anticipated length of the disability. The individual must also forward proof of residence such as a rent receipt, water bill, property tax bill, or utility bill showing name and address.

 Upon receipt of the documentation, the Village Clerk will issue a Temporary or Permanent Parking Permit. A Temporary Parking Permit can be issued for up to six (6) months. A Permanent Parking Permit is issued for a three (3) year period. At the expiration date, the permit holder will be required to supply  proof of residence if they continue to need a Handicapped Parking Permit.

 The Handicapped Parking Permit does not excuse the individual from meter charges or following the law. It is available to allow those who have difficulty ambulating, the opportunity to park close to their destination. The Handicapped Parking Permit is issued to the person who has the disability. The permit should remain with the individual, not the car. For example, if you drive a handicapped individual, the permit should hang from your mirror. If you are not driving that person, you the driver, do not have the right to use the permit. Abuses of a Handicapped Parking Permit can result in the revocation of the permit.

 NOTE: Do not send your application to the N.Y.S. Department of Motor Vehicles. DMV does NOT issue parking permits.
