Permit Rules & Requirements
Permit
- • A Moving/Temporary No Parking permit reserves on-street parking for a move. Each address that needs curb space needs its own permit.
Timing
- • Apply at least 10 calendar days before the move. The city allows about one week to review a complete application.
Pricing
- • The $50 city fee covers one truck for up to two days. The city does not allow amendments or extensions, so a longer move needs another permit.
No parking signs
- • Official signs go up at least 48 hours before the permit starts, visible from the street, no more than 50 feet apart, and only on poles, sign posts, or cones. They come down when the move is done.
Enforcement
- • The truck must not violate posted parking or street-cleaning restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Moving Permits in Pittsburgh
When do you need a Pittsburgh moving permit?
Pittsburgh requires a Moving/Temporary No Parking permit to reserve on-street parking for a move. A move that stays entirely on private property with the street and sidewalk clear does not need one. If you need curb space at two Pittsburgh addresses, each address needs its own permit.
How much does a Pittsburgh moving permit cost?
Pittsburgh moving-permit orders start at $165. This includes a city fee from $50 and our service fee from $115. You see the exact total before payment.
How far ahead should you apply?
Apply at least 10 calendar days before your move. The city asks for about one week to review a complete application, and the signs must be up 48 hours before the permit starts.
When are the No Parking signs posted?
We post the official signs at least 48 hours before your permit begins, on poles or sign posts in the permit area, no more than 50 feet apart and visible from the street, and email you timestamped photo proof. Please take the signs down when your move is done.
What if someone parks in my space anyway?
Once the signs have been up for 48 hours, you can call the local police to ask for permission to tow. They will ask for timestamped photos showing the signs were up 48 hours ahead, which we email you. The permit does not override posted parking or street-cleaning restrictions.
What if my signs aren't posted on time?
Then it's free. We post your No Parking signs by the posting deadline and email you photos once they're up. If we post late, we refund everything you paid us, including any city fee. If the city turns down your permit, your card is never charged. The guarantee covers our posting. It can't promise the space will be empty, because ticketing or towing cars that ignore the signs is up to the city.
