Business Parking Permit Regulations

Business Parking Permits are sold to businesses that require parking in the downtown area for their employees.  The permit system was established to ensure that prime parking spaces are available to consumers and visitors of the downtown business district, while providing parking to the employers and employees of the downtown businesses.

Business Parking Permits are valid in the following locations:

• Permit Lot - south side of Pettee Brook Lane
• Madbury Road - east side
• Madbury Road - west side from Garrison to Madbury Commons entrance
• Cowell Drive
• Garrison Avenue Extension
• Strafford Avenue - north side only
• 66 Main Street Lot

Permits are valid between the hours of 6:00AM and 12:00AM midnight daily and must be prominently hung from the rearview mirror to allow unobstructed viewing from the outside of the vehicle.

There is no guarantee that a parking space will be available at any of the six areas referenced above. However, parking permits will be valid at all six locations. Parking on any Town roadway and/or other parking areas does not excuse the permit holder from applicable parking regulations.

Each business owner and/or manager is not required to appear in person but must provide the request for parking permits on official company letterhead and include an email address that will serve as the contact point for all permits issued to this business.  There is no limit to the number of permits sold.

It shall be the responsibility of the business establishment to govern the use of each permit assigned to them for the exclusive use of their employees while at the workplace. 

Business parking permits will be sold throughout the calendar year in the following manner:

Parking permits shall be color coded and valid only within the year purchased. 

Lost or misplaced permits shall be reported to the Police allowing the number on the permit to be voided.  Replacement cost is $10.00.
