Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has extended relaxed parking enforcement until Oct. 1, allowing residents to stay home whenever possible without being concerned about citations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relaxed enforcement is extended for residential street sweeping regulations, expired registration, overnight/oversize parking district restrictions, peak/rush hour and gridlock zone parking restrictions, and oversized/overnight parking regulations. Enforcement continues for metered parking, time limits in preferential parking districts for vehicles without a valid or recently-expired permit, posted time limit zones in residential and commercial areas and temporary no-parking zones. Citations are also still being issued for blocking emergency access, parking beyond time limits in colored curb zones and violating parking restrictions at city-owned lots.

Residents will not face parking fine increases when failing to pay a citation. Extended grace periods will be allowed for violations in residential and commercial drop off or pick up zones, and extensions have been granted on all deadlines for payments. Temporary permits can be printed at home for people who have renewed permits but will not receive a new hangtag before their current permit expires.

Vehicles displaying recently expired permits within preferential parking districts will have a two-week grace period following the expiration to renew. For information, visit ladot.lacity.org.
