In 2025, the City will introduce a new parking permit system, eliminating the need for physical stickers. Building on the success of paid parking meter enforcement using handheld license plate readers since 2015, the same technology will now be used to manage resident parking permits. Under the new system, residents will be able to purchase and manage their permits online, with parking rights automatically linked to their vehicle’s license plate number. As a result, residents will no longer need to replace stickers, wait for permits by mail, or visit the parking office in person.
Further details on the new system will be available in the coming months.
Parking is limited to four hours on every Westmount street, unless otherwise indicated.
Conditions and requirements to apply for a parking permit
- Westmount citizens (Property owners or tenants) are eligible for a “G” 24 hour parking permit if the number of their vehicles exceeds the number of parking spaces at their residence. If you have available parking spaces on your property or rental location, you will only be eligible to obtain one green “W” permit per household.
- At any time, the City reserves the right to perform on-site inspections to confirm how many parking spaces are present. The City also reserves the right to withdraw any parking permit that has been wrongfully issued to a resident or if available spaces become available on their property in the future.
When obtaining your parking permit, you must provide the following information:
- Driver’s license (with Westmount address)

- A letter from the property owner/landlord, confirming that there are no available parking spaces on their property

If your vehicle is towed during snow removal or street cleaning operations, please contact Public Safety at 514 989-5222.
Snow removal
Advance warning of snow removal and the times at which it will be taking place are given by flashing or fixed lights on major thoroughfares and by special signage placed on side streets.
Westmount depends on the cooperation of all drivers in the City to ensure that snow is removed quickly and efficiently throughout the winter. The next time it snows, look up and check carefully for orange signs prior to 7 a.m. Vehicles blocking snow removal operations will be towed.
Street cleaning
Street cleaning occurs on a fixed schedule and parking is not permitted during the designated periods, which are clearly posted.
Check parking signs carefully, as these restrictions are strictly enforced.
Leaving a vehicle engine idling is costly to the environment and to you. It pollutes the air you breathe and wastes your money. It’s also illegal.
In Westmount, idling your vehicle for more than 3 minutes within a 1-hour period is banned. Violators could face a minimum fine of $57 for each offence.
