Residents who live inside the boundaries of any of these districts and want stickers must:
 

  • Complete an application, scan the proper documentation and email them to Dawn Kossmann. Call 214-987-5355 for further assistance if necessary.
  • Proof of residency is required to obtain stickers - Scan a document containing your name and University Park address. That address must be inside the boundaries of your parking district. Proof of residency is demonstrated with a valid Texas Driver License or ID Card, current electric, phone or water bill (within the last 60 days), or current lease agreement or insurance policy.  
  • All applicants renting property in a parking districts must provide a copy of their current lease for review by staff.  

Stickers for all parking districts are renewed annually. 

Parking District Guidelines
 
  • The stickers are free.
  • Two stickers are provided per address.
  • The stickers are color-coded to differentiate the High School district, the two geographic areas that comprise the SMU districts (Hillcrest West and Hillcrest East) and the YMCA district.
  • During restricted hours, residents of one parking district are not eligible to park their vehicles at curbside inside the boundaries of other parking districts.
  • Clearly identifiable service vehicles, marked or not, do not need stickers.
  • High School area Resident Parking District: Stickers will not be provided for high school students, HPISD volunteers or PTA members who have on-campus business.
  • SMU area Resident Parking District: Stickers will not be provided for SMU students, faculty and staff (unless they reside inside one of the districts) or visitors to the university.
  • Stickers are not transferable. If a resident sells a vehicle, or a lease vehicle is returned, the resident is responsible for removing the sticker and obtaining a replacement sticker for the new vehicle.
  • Stickers are valid only when they are permanently affixed to the OUTSIDE of the vehicle (lower left-hand corner of the rear window)
  • As a courtesy to others, park with traffic at all times.  It is illegal in Texas to park facing oncoming traffic.
 
Year-long Visitor Parking Passes  

UPPD issues year-long parking placards (two per household) to residents who live inside any of the City's Residential Parking Districts.
 
  • Annual visitor parking placards are free of charge.
  • To obtain annual parking stickers and visitor placards, residents must show proof of residency - Valid Texas Driver License or ID Card, current electric, phone or water bill (within the last 60 days), or current lease agreement or insurance policy.  Come to UPPD Administration, 3800 University Blvd.  Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

  • Parking District residents who need temporary parking passes for a planned party or other gatherings where curbside parking is needed can make arrangements by calling 214-363-3000.
