Timed Zones

There are timed zones throughout the downtown for on-street parking. Check the signs on the street before you leave your vehicle for the time limit of your area. Norwich has a policy to limit "same" street parking to once per 24-hour period. For more information relating to local parking regulations, please feel free to call the commission office.

EZ PARK PASS is available for daily off-street parking. The fee is $5/day. Passes are available at the Tax Office.

If you have a reserved spot - use it! This will help keep the on-street parking open for customers. Remember that when you park on the street and also have a reserved spot, you are tying up two spaces!
