 Q&As

What is intruder parking?
Parking inside a neighborhood by individuals visiting businesses, events, and/or commercial properties adjacent to the neighborhood.

Are residents who live in a RPPP area required to purchase a parking permit?
No. Purchasing a parking permit is optional. You may decide to purchase the annual parking permit or refrain from parking on the street during restricted hours.

How long is the process to establish a new RPPP area?
It can take several months to establish a new area. 

Can I park in areas that have RPPP signs posted?
You may only park in the area that is indicated on the permit. Parking in an alternate area will subject you to a fine. The permit does not guarantee and/or reserve a parking space within a parking permit area. Parking is first-come, first-serve.

How are the restrictions enforced?
The Police Department will issue tickets to vehicles that are in violation of the parking restriction. Enforcement is made by routine police patrol or contact Parking Enforcement at (602)534-7733 or traffic.complaints@phoenix.gov.
