How it works
Register with HotSpot by providing your name, contact details and vehicle license plate. You can buy permits with a credit card or Visa/Debit. A HotSpot account is not required to buy permits, but future online purchases will require registered users to log in. Convenience fees: $0.50 for daily permits and $2.00 for monthly permits for online purchases. No fee for in-person purchases at Town Hall.
Enforcement
No hang‑tag is required. Enforcement staff scan licence plates to validate virtual permits.
Multiple vehicles
Add multiple vehicles to one account. Before parking, select the vehicle (plate) that matches the car. The permit holder is responsible for ensuring the correct plate is selected.
