Currently, Four Hours Free Parking in Downtown Perth

Due to COVID-19, Council has waived all parking fees in the downtown parking lots. They have also extended the free parking in the downtown streets to four hours.

We want you to enjoy all our downtown restaurants, stores and services have to offer, so you have four hours of on-street parking completely FREE within the Perth Business Improvement Association Area! 

If you are planning to stay for more than 4 hours, follow the green "P" signs to one of our four Municipal Parking Lots right in the downtown core. One of these parking lots is sure to be very close to your desired destination.  

Note that the on-street parking meters, on the borders of the downtown area, must still be paid.

 Parking Lot Passes
CURRENTLY NOT REQUIRED - Parking lot passes can be purchased from the Town Hall or online. The pricing is specific to the lot. 
 Loading Zones
The Town has used By-law No. 3961, as amended, to establish loading zones at various locations in Town.  Use of loading zones and parking spaces is a benefit which is currently provided to business by the taxpayer. 
 Overnight winter parking restrictions
  • There is no overnight parking on any Town of Perth street from November 20th through to March 31st. This allows our snowplow operators to clear our streets throughout the evening hours so that they are clear for the next day.
  • Only parking permit holders can park overnight in the municipal lot for which their permit was purchased.
  • The Town of Perth enforces winter overnight parking restrictions for snowplowing. Police Services staff will ticket vehicles in contravention of By-law No. 3961.
