Solutions For Annoying Visitor Parking Permits

About two years ago, I moved from Southern California to Sacramento for business

. It was not the largest move in my life, but it was one of the more annoying moves, not because of the distance (I have moved quite farther than that, before), but because of the new community I moved into. The community HOA issued their own custom parking permits to all residents. Apparently, they were not that big on having people parking on the street.

Not only were we encouraged to park in our driveways, or more specifically in our garage, but they had their own meter maids that would go around and ticket any vehicles who did not have a valid parking permit, which they had to issue themselves. Needless to say, this made having guests over a bit of an inconvenience. If they parked on the street, they ran the risk of being ticketed. The tickets themselves didn't have a fine, but it was rather annoying and troublesome, and they mentioned that the license number has been documented and repeat offenses could result in the vehicle being towed.

Having a good deal of family in the area, as well as old family friends that had somehow ended up in the same area, made this whole parking situation an even bigger hassle. It took me about three months to get visitor parking permits issued to me, and the HOA was none too happy about the whole situation. They actually implemented a limit on the number of guest permits they would issue, which makes sense since they do not want any unauthorized people from parking in the community.

Once I had the guest permits, the only problem I encountered was my guests forgetting to return them before heading off back to their own homes. This was a bit troublesome, as I only had a few and couldn't get any replacements from the HOA. Then, one of my nephews had a stroke of genius and told me about his high school parking permit holder. He showed me the little clip attachment that fit perfectly on any sun visor. It kept the parking permits in clear view, and was bulky enough for my guests to remember about before they drove off.
