A. Visitor parking permits may be issued only to eligible city of Bothell residents and are for use only by their bona fide visitors. It is the responsibility of the resident to provide their visitor with a visitor parking permit, and to assure the permit is displayed prominently by hanging the permit from the rear view mirror of the visitor’s vehicle. It is presumed the visitor is the invited guest of the resident. When the visitor’s social stay at the residence ends, the visitor parking permit must be removed from the visitor’s vehicle, and posted parking restrictions will apply.

B. The police department is hereby authorized to issue visitor parking permits which shall be valid for a period of up to one year. Up to two visitor permits per residential address may be issued. Additional visitor parking permits may be issued by written application to the chief of police. Visitor parking permits may be issued only to an individual residing at each residential address who can provide the proof of residence required by BMC 10.45.020.

C. Visitor parking permits shall be issued in conjunction with the issuance or renewal of a residential parking permit, for those individuals who hold a valid residential parking permit or for the calendar year or any unexpired portion thereof for other qualified applicants. (Ord. 1974 § 1, 2007; Ord. 1627 § 1, 1996).
