Renew your Resident Parking Permit

Banff residents need a Resident Parking Permit to have up to 3 hours of free parking per day in the paid parking zone downtown, and to park on the resident-only streets surrounding the paid zone. Many residents who registered when the program began in 2021 will have an annual renewal in June. Register for, or renew, your Resident Parking Permit at Town Hall, or online at banff.ca/ResidentPermit.
