Obtaining an Oversize Vehicle Permit

According to Sec. 80.69.4 PARKING OF OVERSIZE VEHICLES

Oversize Vehicle Parking Permits are only valid on the day written on the permit, between the hours of 2 and 6 AM, where signs are posted on the street or at the entry point to the oversize vehicle restricted area (OVRA) prohibiting oversize vehicle parking between 2 and 6 AM.

Permits must be attached to the inside of the driver's side window of your vehicle. The permit must be removed prior to operating the vehicle.

*In order to purchase an oversize vehicle parking permit, you must pay all outstanding parking fines.

You are only allowed to purchase up to 3 one-day permits per day. If you need to purchase more than 3 permits, you are required to submit your request on another day.

Displaying the oversize vehicle permit DOES NOT exempt the vehicle from L.A.M.C. 80.73.2. ("It shall be unlawful for any person who owns or who has possession, custody or control of any vehicle to park that vehicle or leave it standing upon any highway, street or alley for 72 or more consecutive hours.")

Oversize vehicle parking permits may be purchased either by mail or in person at one of four Department of Transportation's (DOT) Public Service Centers. Permits are issued to Los Angeles residents for a fee of $10.00 per day and may be purchased for up to three days at a time.
