↓Parking terms and conditions
In Milton, street parking is limited to five hours. If you need to park longer, you can request a parking exception.
Parking exceptions have limits on how long and how often they can be used per vehicle. You can also buy monthly permits for overnight parking at select municipal parks – this is a pilot program.
Monthly overnight parking in parks
To help ease on-street parking pressures, the Town of Milton launched a one-year pilot program. This offers overnight parking permits in designated lots at municipal parks.
There are 400 parking spaces available across all four wards. This pilot provides residents with a temporary parking option as our community continues to grow.
Permits cost $60 per month, are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and allow overnight parking for the full month in the lot of a designated park. To qualify, you must not have any outstanding parking violations.
A full review of the program will be presented to Council in 2027. At that time, Council will consider recommendations regarding the continuation, modification or discontinuation of the program. The pilot program will continue until then. Community feedback will help inform future parking decisions and strategies.

Street parking longer than five hours, more than 25 times per vehicle
From April 15 to Nov. 14, you can request extended parking exceptions beyond the regular 25 per vehicle.
To qualify, you must:
-
Use or book all 25 regular exceptions for all vehicles registered to your home
-
Park at least one vehicle in your garage
-
Apply five business days before the start date
Important: The Town may suspend parking exceptions during winter storms. Vehicles that interfere with snow-clearing may be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense.
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?

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
