Permit Rules Automation | Customizable Parking Limits

Permit Rules

Automated enforcement of vehicle limits, time restrictions, and pricing

Page content

Can we set different rules for different unit sizes?

Yes! You can configure permit allocation based on unit type (studio, 1-bed, 2-bed, etc.). For example, studios get 1 permit, 1-bedrooms get 2 permits, 2-bedrooms get 3 permits. Any extras beyond the allocation are automatically charged. Fully flexible to match your property's needs.

How do visitor time limits prevent long-term parking abuse?

Set maximum visitor stay periods (12hr, 24hr, 72hr) and consecutive day limits. For example, visitors can park for max 3 consecutive days, then must take a 2-day break. The system automatically flags violations, preventing unauthorized long-term visitor parking without any manual tracking.

Can we whitelist long-term visitors like family members?

Absolutely! Property managers can exempt specific visitor permits from time restrictions. Perfect for parents visiting their adult children for extended stays. Whitelisted permits won't be flagged as violations regardless of duration.

How do tiered visitor pricing rules work?

You can create multi-tier pricing structures. For example: first 4 hours free, next 2 hours $2/hour, then $4/hour after that. Or offer each resident 72 free visitor hours per month, then switch to paid parking. The system automatically tracks hours used and applies charges accordingly.

Can we set rules for when towing is allowed?

Yes! Configure enforcement thresholds like 'only tow after 3 unpaid citations' or 'tow immediately for fire lane violations.' The system automatically tracks citation history and flags vehicles eligible for towing based on your rules. Enforcement teams see tow recommendations in real-time.

How does automatic NOI optimization work?

By setting rules like 'first 2 vehicles free, charge $50/month for 3rd vehicle,' you automatically generate revenue from residents with extra vehicles. The system enforces limits and processes charges without manual tracking, increasing your Net Operating Income effortlessly.

Do the rules sync with LPR cameras automatically?

Yes! All permit rules sync in real-time with mobile and fixed LPR cameras. When a camera detects a vehicle, the system instantly checks if it complies with all active rules (time limits, permit allocations, payment status, etc.). Violations are flagged immediately without staff intervention.

Can each resident see their remaining visitor hours?

Yes! When you allocate visitor hours per unit (e.g., 72 hours/month), residents can see their remaining balance in their portal. They know exactly how many free hours they have left before paid parking kicks in. Complete transparency and self-service.
