Renewing your permit
Permits expire on December 31 each year. You will receive a reminder email or letter in November. To renew, visit Service Wrenford online or stop by City Hall. You do not need to submit new proof of residency if your details have not changed.
If your permit expires, you must pay a late renewal fee of $25.00 to reactivate it. Do not drive in restricted zones without a valid permit.
Rules and by-laws
Permit holders must display their decal or digital pass clearly on the vehicle. Forgetting to display a permit can still result in a parking ticket. All permits are non-transferable and must be renewed before the expiry date.
