Disabled parking placards are issued by the
County Tax Assessor-Collector and cost $5.00. Placards allow
vehicles to park in designated areas and free of charge at parking meters.
Drivers display placards from their vehicle's rear view mirror; red
placards indicate non- mobility disability and blue indicate mobility
related disability. Permanent placards must be renewed every four
years.
Placards are often issued to those who display disabled parking license
plates. Individuals may choose a combination of two: two
placards or one placard and one set of disabled plates.
Applicants for new or renewed disabled parking placards must present
documented proof of need from a physician. The proof may be a
notarized form from the applicant's physician or a written prescription.
Once a person provides proof of permanent disability, he or she will not
be required to provide it again.
