ORDINANCE NO. 4192
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF
CHAPTER 8.52 ECC RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL PARKING
ZONE REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, the city desires to make its permitting processes more convenient and
accessible to the public by making them available online, as opposed to requiring visits to City
Hall, in-person signatures, and notarization; and
WHEREAS, according to the current Edmonds City Code, a signature and notarization is
required for a complete residential parking permit application; and

permit application, including driver’s license and vehicle registration, signature notarization is an
unnecessary requirement; and

(“Residential Parking Zone Regulations”) to help streamline the permit process;
