Parking
The Town of Perth offers complimentary parking for two consecutive hours within a five hour period on downtown streets within the BIA, courtesy of the Downtown Perth Business Improvement Association.  If you feel you would like to browse the Town for a longer period of time, municipal parking lots are convenient and inexpensive to use.  Rates are $1.00  per hour.


Business Identity Card Annual Parking Permit Policy
The Town has received and reviewed requests for parking permits for contractors to permit their use of parking spaces for an extended period, thereby facilitating their business operations.  The Town has used By-law # 3961, as amended, to establish loading zones at various locations in Town.  Use of loading zones and parking spaces is a benefit which is currently provided to business by the taxpayer.  As a result of further review of the request, a policy was drafted and approved by Council on March 21st, 2006 to include business in general, and is not limited to "contractors".
