Street parking longer than five hours, up to 25 times per vehicle

- Vehicles must be parked where parking is allowed for the exception to be valid. Example: no parking in a no parking area.
If you anticipate needing parking beyond these limits, consider exploring other parking options available in Milton.

If your vehicle interferes with snow removal operations, it may be:
- Issued a parking ticket
- Towed at the owner’s expense
Extended on street parking exceptions

Terms and conditions
- Have used (or already booked) all 25 short term on street parking exceptions for every vehicle registered to your household.
- Park at least one vehicle in your garage.
- Submit your request at least five business days before the requested start date.
Important information

Permanent 15-hour parking
Parking throughout Milton is limited to five hours. You cannot park on the street between 2-6 a.m., unless otherwise posted. Residents in Milton may apply to get extended parking for up to 15 hours on one side of a residential street. Permanent 15-hour parking can only be requested by the homeowner. Non-homeowners must ask homeowners to submit a request.
Please contact engineering and infrastructure to apply for permanent 15-hour parking. The request should include the reason for requesting parking on your street. Once we receive your request, we will conduct a site inspection to see if your street can support permanent 15-hour parking.
The process to consider permanent 15-hour parking requests can take up to three months.
Considerations before applying
- Are you the registered homeowner?
- Have you already used your 25 parking exceptions per vehicle for the year?
- Do you have a garage?
If yes, are you utilizing it to park a vehicle?
Send an email to apply
To apply for permanent 15-hour parking, please contact engineering and infrastructure for consideration.

Gather signatures
If we feel your street can support permanent 15-hour parking, we will give you an information package and petition form. You must gather signatures from 51 per cent of the homeowners on your street indicating that they support permanent 15-hour parking.
Fill out the parking questionnaire
If you are able to get 51 per cent or more support, we will issue an official parking questionnaire to confirm support. Each individual homeowner on the street must complete the questionnaire and return it to the Town of Milton before the specified date.
Parking by-law amendment request
If 51 per cent or more of homeowners support permanent 15-hour parking on the questionnaire, we will ask Council for an amendment to the parking by-law on your street. Once this is approved, new parking signs will be installed on your street.
Permanent 15-hour parking will not take effect until all appropriate signs have been installed.
Impact of permanent 15-hour parking
It is important to note that permanent 15-hour parking on one side of your street will result in no parking on the other side of the street at all times. Permanent 15-hour street parking may:
- Complicate parking enforcement, snow removal, road maintenance and waste collection efforts
- Result in residents from nearby streets parking on your street
