I live in NW Washingon, DC. Where do I go to obtain a Zone 3 parking pass? How much do they cost? Thanks!?

Answer 1

DC DMV - $15.00/year

Residential Parking Permit (RPP)

A Residential Parking Permit (RPP) allows a DC registered vehicle, or a vehicle with reciprocity, to be parked without restriction in the permit area of the residential address. In order to be eligible for a Residential Parking Permit (RPP), your street must be zoned for RPP as indicated by a two-hour residential restriction sign on your block. RPP blocks are certified by the DC Department of Transportation. Information on the program and a database of eligible blocks can be found on the DC Department of Transportation website.

Commercial Vehicles, buses, vehicles longer than twenty-two feet, and sightseeing vehicles are not eligible for residential parking permits.

Residential parking permits are issued by DMV as a part of the vehicle registration service. Applicants may visit a DMV Service Center, submit the following documents, and pay applicable parking permit fees (Residential Parking Permit).

* Valid DC vehicle registration card
* Valid DC Driver's License or Valid DC Non-Driver's ID card

OR

* Valid Reciprocity Permit


You may request a Residential Parking Permit online if you have a valid vehicle registration and qualify for a Residential parking permit.

Replacing your Residential Parking Permit

Answer 2

JohnB is correct about that. You can apply for the permit while you register your car. If you need a permit for a visitor or to put on your car while you're waiting to get your tags, visit any DC police station. I believe Zone 3 HQ is at 38th and Idaho NW. Bring your driver's license and if the permit is for your car bring your lease/mortgage with you.
