Annual Permit Parking Renewals for Seniors Available Starting November 3

If your street participates in the Resident Parking program or if you participate in the Municipal, Business, Realtor or Home Healthcare Worker Parking Programs, it’s time to renew your annual parking permit (valid January 1, 2026 - December 31, 2026). Your 2025 parking permit will be expired after December 31, 2025, so renew it before then to avoid getting ticketed once the calendar turns to 2026.  

Please be aware that vehicles that have an unpaid violation will not be able to obtain a permit until the violation has been paid. If the violation is less than 90 days past due, you may pay it online. A citation may be paid online on the payment portal until it is 90 days past due. After 90 days a hold is placed on the vehicle with the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and the citation must be paid with cash at City Hall or by mail with a money order from the U.S Postal Service. An additional $10 late fee will be added after 21, 60 and 90 days. Send all mail payments to Medford City Hall, Room 110, 85 George P. Hassett Drive, Medford MA 02155. You may reach out to parking@medford-ma.gov or call 781-393-2463 to inquire about unpaid citations. 

Seniors (ages 65+) can renew their parking permits in-person beginning November 3. The City recommends coming early to avoid long lines. All Senior parking permits must be purchased in-person at the Parking Department in City Hall – Room 110. Please bring a valid vehicle registration and driver’s license. The name on the license must match the registration, and both documents must have your current Medford address on them. 

All other resident parking permits will open for renewal online on November 3 and in-person on Monday, November 24. If obtaining a permit in-person, please bring a current valid Massachusetts registration with your Medford address printed by the MA Registry of Motor Vehicle, in the "Garaged Address" if the "Owner-Mailing Address" is different.
