Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Failure to do
so may result in a citation.

The Temporary Parking Permit must be clearly
displayed on the dashboard, face-up on the driver's
side. No overnight parking permits are issued to
vehicles exceeding 6,000 lbs., non-motorized vehicles,
trailers and vehicles exceeding 8-feet height, 6-feet

No overnight parking permits are issued to vehicles exceeding 6,000 lbs., non-
motorized vehicles, trailers and vehicles exceeding 8-feet height, 6-feet width or 
20-feet length. If you change or sell your vehicle, remove the existing permit sticker
from car windshield and submit with a transfer fee of $20.00. If the sticker is not
presented at this time, you will be required to submit a new application with new
permit fees. If you change your address within the Alhambra city limits, a new proof
of residency permit must be submitted along with a $20 administrative fee.

Overnight Parking Permits must be clearly displayed on the vehicle with its own
adhesive (do not affix permit with tape or any other materials). The permit must be
clearly displayed on the front lower left (drivers' side) corner of the windshield.
If not displayed correctly, the permit will be considered INVALID.

Vehicles displaying a current Disabled Placard are exempt from overnight parking restrictions. 

The Alhambra Municipal Code prohibits overnight parking of commercial vehicles in industrial areas of the city. These vehicles are targets for graffiti and other types of vandalism, thereby making street sweeping impossible and creating blight in the
industrial areas. It is against the law to live in a recreational vehicle on a public street
in Alhambra.  Recreational vehicles are prohibited from parking overnight without a valid
72 hour permit that must be obtained from the Alhambra Police Department Traffic Section.  This permit will only be issued for the purpose of loading or unloading a recreational vehicle either before or after a trip.
