Our service fee is $95. The City permit fees and regulations in Portland are confusing. Depending on the permit address, the City has three different pricing schemes.

(2) Non-metered permit address located in a congested area (this is determined by the City upon our application) are prices at $7.50 per space per day plus a flat fee of $32.50. (3) Permits in non-congested, non-metered area are $40 per day up to 80 feet.
IMPORTANT: Permits are only enforceable (this means you can call the Portland Parking Enforcement to get vehicles parked in your permit area towed away as needed) the under the following circumstances. (1) Metered permits are fully enforceable under all circumstances. (2) In all non-metered areas, the signs we post at the permit address must be inspected by Parking Enforcement at least 24 hours in advance of the start date. Permit Puller charges an additional $100 for this inspection at is is very time consuming as our staff must be present during the inspection. If you wish to have a fully enforceable permit please note this on your request otherwise we will not take this extra step w/o your prior authorization. |
