Guide · Checked against official pages on November 11, 2026

Hochelaga is in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, where the City groups it with Maisonneuve as the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood. The borough's parking rules apply. Here is what the City and the Agence de mobilité durable say, rule by rule.

City of Montréal only, for now. More cities to come.

How long you can stay parked

In Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, the City lists no time limit for automobiles parked on the street. For trucks, trailers, commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, and tool and auto repair vehicles, the limit is 24 hours. The signs on the street still apply, including any time limit they show.

Resident sticker zones

To get a residents-only sticker, you must be the primary driver of the vehicle and your home must be on a street where parking is reserved for sticker holders.

• The limit is 1 sticker per person and per vehicle, and 2 stickers per address. A sticker cannot be transferred, reassigned or refunded.
• The price of the first sticker depends on when you buy it, the colour of the licence plate (green for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, blue for the others) and the vehicle's weight. The second sticker has a fixed price that depends only on when you buy it.
• People with a low income or reduced mobility get a special rate, for the first sticker only.
• Vehicles over 4,500 kg (net weight) and commercial vehicles with a plate starting with X are not eligible.

Paid parking

Paid parking generally applies on arterial roads and commercial streets, and the City sets the paid periods and the maximum time allowed. Since February 1, 2026, the Agence de mobilité durable lists an hourly rate of $2.50 for Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. You can pay remotely with the Mobicité app, and the Agence asks you to check the rate shown on the parking sign or the pay station.

In the borough, the Agence also lists a Parcojour sector at the Parc olympique and Station de l'Assomption, where you can pay by the hour or by the day: $2.50 an hour or $15.00 a day, Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Parcojour pay stations carry a yellow P instead of the usual blue one.

Street maintenance bans

In Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, parking bans for street maintenance run from April 1 to December 1. The sign on your street gives the exact days and hours, and the ban holds for the whole period shown, regardless of the weather. More in our guide to street cleaning.

Snow loading

During snow loading, street parking is banned at certain times, and temporary signs go up. In general, the City says:

• Temporary signs take priority over permanent ones, but the permanent ones still apply.
• If you don't follow these signs, the City says your vehicle will be towed and you will be fined.
• The narrow-street sticker that some boroughs offer for snow removal is not offered in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

If your car is gone

The City's Info-Remorquage service finds it by licence plate or on a map. You can also call the Agence de mobilité durable at 514-868-3737. If it went to the pound, the owner pays the storage fees.

Where Panoui! fits

Panoui! reads the City of Montréal's open data on permanent parking signs and shows each known curb in the colour of the rule in force: green, park. Red, don't. Blue, pay. Yellow, for permit holders. Tap a curb for the rule in plain words and when it changes. It doesn't show temporary signs such as snow-loading bans, and it doesn't show whether a space is empty. The posted sign always wins, so give it one last look before you leave your car.
