The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to remind residents that 2026 digital parking permits are now available. Parking permits must be registered annually, and residents are required to re-register their vehicle for the 2026 calendar year. Registration can be completed online through the Town’s website or in person at Town Hall during regular business hours. Proof of residency and vehicle ownership is required at the time of registration.
With a valid digital parking permit, residents may park for free at all municipally owned paid parking locations, including beaches, parks and trails. Please note that Town parking permits do not apply to privately owned paid parking lots.
New for 2026, the Town is excited to offer Friends and Family Parking Permits, allowing residents to register visiting guests for temporary digital parking permits. To purchase a Friends and Family Parking Permit, residents must create a household account through the Town’s online parking permit portal. A household account enables residents to register multiple household vehicles under a single account and easily manage temporary permits for visiting guests throughout the year.
Each household is permitted up to 14 calendar days annually for Friends and Family Parking Permits, at a rate of $5 per day. At the time of purchase, residents must provide the visitor’s licence plate number and the dates the permit will be used. Once registered, guest vehicles may enjoy the same benefits of a resident parking permit and park for free at any Town-owned paid parking location.
Residents who have already registered for a 2026 Resident Parking Permit are not required to re-register until 2027, as their permit remains valid. However, residents who have already registered for a 2026 parking permit and wish to purchase Friends and Family Parking Permits will be required to create a household account through the Town’s website.
