1. How do I get a parking permit for disabled persons?

You must live in New York State to be eligible for a permanent parking permit, but you need not be a licensed driver or own a vehicle. A temporary parking permit, valid for six months, is available for a non-resident with a qualifying disability. You and your healthcare provider can complete the application form MV-664.1. You also can have your healthcare provider (MD, DO or DPM) complete a statement on their letterhead. The statement must describe the disabling condition and verify that the disability qualifies according to the law. Bring the form or statement to the City Clerk at:
City Hall
25 Court Street
Cortland, NY 13045

There is no fee for a permit.

2. How do I get vehicle plates for the disabled?

Bring the proof of your disability (either form MV-664.1) or the statement from your healthcare provider) and current vehicle plates to any DMV office. Bring your proof of identity. Complete the application form, pay $18, and surrender your current vehicle plates.

Vehicle plates for disabled persons are issued only for vehicles registered in the name of the disabled person. Each disabled person can have one set of vehicle plates. Application Form MV-664.1 (PDF)
