On-Street Metered Parking | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Several municipal parking lots are available for use within the Downtown and Le Village areas. The parking lots offer Pay by Plate parking for $1 per hour, and there is a maximum length of stay of 12 hours. The pay by plate parking is a paperless system that works by using a vehicle licence plate number rather than a paper ticket. Receipts are optional. Residents parking in the Pay by Plate stalls and parking lots are required to pay during the hours of 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday. The fine for parking with no ticket displayed or an improperly displayed ticket is $25. If you observe a parking meter or Pay & Display machine that isn't working properly, please contact the Building and By-law Department at (613) 930-2787 ext. 2225. |

Plate Denial | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Provincial legislation allows municipalities to collect unpaid parking infractions through the Ministry of Transportation by requesting plate denial. The City of Cornwall is connected to such system and your license plate may not be issued by the Ministry of Transportation if there are outstanding fines. Also, at such time, an additional $20.00 is levied to each outstanding ticket in addition to already imposed fees and fines. To enquire about the status of your unpaid parking tickets or to obtain general information regarding outstanding fines, please contact the Building and By-law Department at (613) 930-2787 ext. 2225. |

Accessible Parking | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A registered accessible parking permit must be displayed in a vehicle using any designated accessible parking space. These spaces are signed with a regulation wheelchair symbol. Applications and eligibility criteria for Accessible Parking permits are available from Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Offices (operated by the Ministry of Transportation) or Service Ontario. Parking in one of these designated spaces without this permit could result in a $300 fine. Residents with an Accessible Parking Permit are allowed to park in metered areas and municipal parking lots for free for a maximum of three hours. |
