Parking Passes
The Town of Yarmouth uses HotSpot Parking. Hotspot allows you to buy monthly parking permits for 2 hour parking lots online or by using your Smartphone. Permits are needed to park in any town owned lot for a period exceeding 2-hours. This virtual permit system allows you to simply purchase and manage monthly passes from the comfort of your own home or while on the go by using the HotSpot Online Dashboard! Virtual permits are also available in-person at Town Hall, 400 Main Street.
Passes are $20 for a month and $2 for one day. Please be advised that there is an administrative fee charged when buying passes through the Hotspot app or dashboard. The fee is $0.50 for daily permits, and $2.00 for monthly permits plus .HST. Have more than one vehicle? You can add multiple vehicles onto your pass, allowing you to change the registered plate depending on which vehicle you drive that day.
NOTE: no fee is added for in-person transactions at Town Hall. Future online purchases will only require registered users to login and purchase additional permits.
