GUIDELINES
Permit Display: Permits must be attached to the vehicle’s rear-view mirror so it can easily be viewed by Parking Enforcement officers. If there are any problems in displaying the permit in this location, contact the Parking Enforcement office at (573) 874-7674.
Nontransferable: Permits may not be co-leased or otherwise transferred to individuals not originally making the lease agreement with the City of Columbia. A lessee may allow another individual the temporary use of a permit but this shall not exceed seven calendar days without written authorization from the Parking Utility. Application for written authorization shall be made three days prior to such extended permit sharing use.
No Parking in Hourly Spaces: Permit holders may not use “hourly parking” unless they have paid the hourly fee for the space (Sec. 14-391). If the parking permit area is full, you must find other parking. You may notify the Parking Utility office.
Lock your Vehicle: Always lock your vehicle. The City of Columbia accepts no liability in the event of theft or vandalism; however it is requested that all occurrences be reported to the Columbia Police Department’s non-emergency number at (573) 442-6131. If you see the theft in progress please call 911.
Bus Passes: Passes for Go COMO will be issued to all permit holders. The pass can be used for unlimited bus rides on the Columbia Transit system.
