Parking Permits for People with Disabilities

Application

If you are a Town of Essex resident and in need of a permanent or temporary parking permit for people with disabilities, you may obtain such from our office. The NYS Department of Motor Vehicles application must be completed and returned to us. Part I is completed by the applicant and Part II is completed by the appropriate health care provider. A permanent permit which is valid for a five-year period and renewable in additional five-year increments may be certified by a Medical Doctor, Doctor of Osteopathy, Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioner or a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. A temporary permit, which may be issued for up to six months and renewed once for up to an additional six months, may be certified only by a Medical Doctor or a Doctor of Osteopathy. A photocopy of your driver’s license must be submitted with each application. If you are applying in person for a permit, we will happily make the photocopy for you. If you are unable to apply in person, you may apply via the mail, or you may have someone bring your completed application and drivers’ license to Town Hall for you.

If a permit is lost or stolen , you may come to our office for a replacement. The replacement permit will be issued after the original permit number is reported to the Essex County Sherriff’s Office making it immediately non-valid. The replacement permit will retain the original permit’s expiration date. You will complete Part I of the DMV application at the time of issuance.

A damaged permit which needs to be replaced must be returned to our office. We will ask you to complete Part I of the DMV application, nullify the original permit and immediately issue you a replacement which will retain the original permit’s expiration date.
