Accessible Parking Permits...

    Accessible parking permits for Geneseo residents are available at no charge from the Town Clerk's Office. In order to apply for a permit, you and your doctor must complete an Application for a Parking Permit for Persons With Severe Disabilities. You must also bring the driver's license of the person to whom the permit was issued, unless that person does not have a driver's license.

    Upon receipt of the application, the Town Clerk will issue a Temporary or Permanent Parking Permit. A Temporary Parking Permit can be issued for up to 6 months, at the discretion of the doctor. A Permanent Parking Permit is issued for a five year period. At the end of five years, the parking permit may be renewed at the Town Clerk's office, provided the permit holder still resides in the town.

    Important Information

    • The Accessible Parking Permit is issued to the person with the disability, not to the vehicle. Persons may not use the permit unless they are transporting the person to whom the permit is issued.
    • Accessible permits should not be left on the rear view mirror when driving.
    • Lost or stolen permits should be reported to the issuing agent immediately.
    • Up to two permits may be issued per person.
    • Permits are issued by the municipality in which you reside. If you have a Florida driver's license, then you should apply for your parking permit in Florida. The Town Clerk can only issue an accessible parking permit for individuals that maintain their residency (as shown by their driver's license) in the Town of Geneseo.
