Somerville has City-wide permit parking. This means you need to obtain a RESIDENTIAL sticker before you can park on our streets. Cars parked on City streets without a residential sticker will be ticketed. To obtain a residential sticker you must present a current, valid Mass registration showing Somerville, MA as the principal place of garaging. Traffic and Parking will contact the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to verify that their records have been updated with your current Somerville address before a permit is issued should you present a MA registration with a non-Somerville address. You must also provide proof of residency with either a bank statement, or a current (dated within 30 days of obtaining the permit) gas, electric, telephone or cable bill. The RESIDENTIAL sticker is good for all posted streets within the city and not just the street where you live. There is a $20.00 fee, senior citizens (65+), HP plates and placards exempt.
More than two resident permits could certainly be granted per apartment if there were more drivers living there. The last place we lived in had 5 guys upstairs, 4 of whom had registered cars.
