Parking in the Plateau-Mont-Royal

Guide · Checked against the City's pages on November 11, 2026

Outdoor staircases, narrow streets and a lot of resident zones. In the City's sign data, as we counted it on November 11, 2026, the Plateau-Mont-Royal has more residents-only panels than any other borough. Here's how parking works there, from the City's pages.

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

Resident sticker zones

The borough's residents-only zones are numbered sectors. The City's interactive map shows them: in French, click on Circulation et stationnement, then check Secteurs de SRRR.

In the City's sign data, most residents-only panels in the borough are recorded as \P 9h-23h EXCEPTE S3R: no parking from 9 h to 23 h, except for vehicles with the sticker for that sector. Some zones are reserved at all times, and a few use other hours, so read the panel on your block. More on permit zones.

Getting a resident sticker

To apply in the Plateau-Mont-Royal, 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 one sticker per person and per vehicle; several people at the same address may each have one.

The price of a first sticker depends on when you buy it, your plate colour (green for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, blue for the others) and the vehicle's net weight. Bought between July 1 and December 31, a first sticker for a car costs $256.39 to $512.79, taxes included, and an additional sticker costs $708.25. The City's page has the full table, including the lower rates from April 1 to June 30.

A sticker bought between January 1 and June 30 is valid until September 30 of the same year. One bought between July 1 and December 31 is valid until September 30 of the following year. You can apply online, or in person at the Accès Montréal office, 201 Avenue Laurier Est, Suite 120.

Visitors: day and month permits

The Plateau-Mont-Royal is one of the boroughs with both. A daily permit is valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase. You buy it at the same payment stations as the parking meters, by entering the code for where you want to park:

• PMR01: all sticker zones in the borough, $16.
• PMR02: only the zones east of Rue Saint-Denis, not Rue Saint-Denis itself, $10.

Leave the coupon in plain view on the dashboard, on the street side. The daily permit does not give access to paid on-street spaces, and the P$ Service Mobile app cannot be used to buy it.

A monthly sticker costs $133, taxes included, and is valid until the end of the month it is bought for. You can get it at the Accès Montréal office or by email.

Street cleaning: April 1 to December 1

For the Plateau-Mont-Royal, the City lists the street-maintenance parking ban period as April 1 to December 1. The sign on your street gives the days and hours. The ban holds for the whole period shown on the sign.

No set time limit

For the borough, the City lists no maximum parking time for cars and other vehicles. Any limit posted on a sign still applies.

Narrow streets and snow

Some Plateau streets carry a narrow-street sign. The City lists them: Berri (Mont-Royal to Gilford, and Rachel to Marie-Anne), de Grand-Pré (Gilford to Saint-Joseph), Drolet (Square-Saint-Louis to Mont-Royal), Fabre (Mont-Royal to Laurier), Henri-Julien (Duluth to Mont-Royal), Hôtel-de-Ville (Rachel to Mont-Royal), Resther (Mont-Royal to Saint-Joseph), Rivard (Roy to Mont-Royal) and Saint-Hubert (Mont-Royal to Laurier).

If your home is on one of them and your resident sticker has the letter A, it also serves as the narrow-street sticker during snow loading: you may park on the side reserved for narrow-street sticker holders (the City says the left side, 7 p.m. to 9 a.m.) and in the designated lots below. Without a resident sticker, you can get a free narrow-street sticker at the borough office from September to March, with a new application each year. The City designates these parking lots for holders:

• Agence de mobilité durable lot 139, Rue Sherbrooke between Avenue Calixa-Lavallée and Avenue du Parc-La Fontaine: 113 spaces, 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
• Agence de mobilité durable lot 270, Rue Saint-Dominique between Avenue Bernard and Rue Saint-Viateur: 43 spaces, 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
• The corner of Rue Drolet and Rue Marie-Anne, entrance on Rue Drolet: 85 spaces, 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

For the rest of the snow season, see snow removal and towing in Montréal.

Paid parking on the main streets

Paid parking generally applies on arterial roads and commercial streets. In the Agence de mobilité durable's list of paid spaces, published on the City's open data portal, the borough's streets with the most paid spaces are Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Avenue du Parc, Avenue du Mont-Royal and Rue Saint-Denis. The Agency's maps, linked from the City's site, show the hourly rates.

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. Panoui! shows the rule, not whether a space is empty. The posted sign always wins, so give it one last look before you leave your car.
