Residential Parking Districts

Corvallis has three residential parking districts established by Municipal Code 6.15:

    Parkway Parking

    Parkway Permits 
    Residents can apply for a permit to legally park in the parkway portion of their driveway, if their vehicle will fit fully within the parkway.  Check the Parkway Parking Measurement Guides (pdf) for exact measurements and details. 

    Parking Meters

    Effective June 1, 2022, Corvallis will begin to transition to higher parking meter rates and citation fees, after more than 14 years without increasing these fees. A citywide parking audit provided a foundation for increasing parking meter fees throughout the city. Previously, rates for parking meters were last adjusted in 2000, and before that in 1992.

    Examples of CIPs are:
