Parking Permit Refund Requests
All parking permit refund requests must be submitted within the first 3 (three) business days of the month for the permit to be cancelled and a refund issued. The City will only refund the rate for a full month of a parking permit; partial refunds will not be issued. Receipts for original purchase must be included with this form for all surface lot refunds and non-recurring payments at the Carlisle Garage.
All parking permit refunds will be issued by cheque to the name on the original receipt except for recurring credit card payments. Recurring credit card payments will be refunded backed to the credit card used to make the original purchase. The City is not responsible for mis-delivered or undeliverable mail.
Please note: Yellow hang tags must be returned to the City of St Catharines Parking Service staff before a surface lot refund will be issued.
Upon receipt of the parking permit refund request, all parking permits associated with the request will be de-activated and will cease to be in effect.
