Skip the Meter Feed: City of Mill Valley Puts 2019-20 Batch of RSVP Downtown Parking Stickers on Sale Now

With current stickers set to expire July 31, City is selling new RSVP stickers that allow people to park at metered spaces for free for two hours. In an effort spur RSVP sales, Mill Valley Market offers customers who spend $350 or more at the market in the month of July a $30 discount on the purchase of an RSVP sticker. ​​

The City of Mill Valley’s Resident Shopper Vehicle Permit (RSVP) program, which allows residents of Mill Valley and nearby towns to park for free at a metered space as a way to promote downtown businesses, is turning seven years old this month. And with the impending July 31st expiration of the 2018-19 batch of stickers, the City is now selling the batch of 2019-20 stickers. 

For residents wanting to shop downtown without lugging around change for the parking meters, it’s out with the green and in with the dark blue. The popular program regularly sells around 3,000 stickers per year, according to City officials.

Just like the past three years, the stickers are $50 for the first two vehicles, $70 each for a third or fourth permit for 94941 residents. For residents of zip codes 94965, 94920 and 94925, all permits are $70. The city accepts check or cash at the Public Safety Building (1 Hamilton Drive) during business hours, and permits can be purchased online here.

In an effort spur RSVP sales, the Mill Valley Market offers any of its customers who spends $350 or more at the market in the month of July a $30 discount on the purchase of an RSVP sticker. Participants can bring their market receipts totaling $350 from purchases within July, along with their receipt for their RSVP sticker purchase, to the Mill Valley Market and get a $30 discount on their next purchase.

You can purchase the parking stickers various ways:

• Online
• Mail application and check to: MVPD, 1 Hamilton Drive, Mill Valley, CA 94941
• In person at 1 Hamilton Drive (across from Hauke Park) Monday-Thursday, 8am-5pm and Friday and 8am-4pm Friday.
