Somerville parking anal violation

Tomorrow is the last day of January, where our parking passes expire.

If you got new parking passes already: when did you get them?

If you don't have the passes yet: where will you park Sunday night?

Traffic and Parking office on the corner of Holland and Paulina (right by the playground they're doing construction on).

If you don't have anywhere else to park, we can probably work something out with regard to our driveway. :) Get in touch if you need to.

Passes may be renewed annually by mail, but they don't renew automatically.
There are several possibilities about what's happening here, but it's not clear exactly what's going on from the information you've given.
Since you've already been using resident parking stickers, you should have received a renewal form in the mail weeks ago. If you haven't, then T&P has made some sort of mistake, and you might be able to have some success in appealing any tickets you receive, but waiting until now to raise the issue won't work in your favor.
In any case, you should go to T&P's offices at 133 Holland Street AS SOON AS YOU CAN, bringing a valid Mass registration with a Somerville address for each vehicle, plus proof of residency (a bank statement, or a current gas, electric, telephone or cable bill), plus $15 per sticker (check or cash only). T&P's hours are: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Thursdays from 9:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., and Fridays from 9:00 A.M. to Noon.
If you DID receive such a form in the mail, and you returned it with the requested confirming documents and payments, you should have received your permits by now. You should follow up immediately on Monday morning by calling 311 to report that you already reapplied and still don't have your permit stickers. You should be able to pick up your stickers at T&P right away without incurring any further costs -- and you can definitely appeal any tickets you receive until the stickers are on the vehicles: under these circumstances, the tickets should be summarily dismissed, since T&P took too long to process your sticker renewal.
I hope you are able to get this resolved quickly. If you didn't wait until the last minute on this and T&P has screwed up, I apologize on their behalf and I'm sure you will be able to make this come out right with no further costs incurred.
If you did let this go until the last weekend, then I hope that next time you will call 311 or visit T&P before the stickers expire. And please don't forget that, although DSLJers are usually helpful and well-informed, you should call or email 311 for help with questions like these.

I paid the full year rate for one of those "partial year" permits. I found that if you make enough of a fuss, they'll issue you another (full year!) permit for free. Good luck!
