Community Safety
Parking
Parking is limited to four hours on all streets in Westmount, unless otherwise indicated.
Westmount residents who do not have sufficient parking space on their property, including anyone living in an apartment, condo or similar dwelling, may apply for permission to park on the street.
This annual G permit, which allows parking for 24 consecutive hours, can be purchased at the Public Security Parking Permits office. You must bring two proofs of residence and the vehicle registration documents. Tenants and condo owners should also bring a letter from the building owner or condo association confirming that parking is unavailable on the property. Permit fees are:
- $160 annually for the 1st car
- $320 annually for the 2nd car
- $480 annually for the 3rd car
The W permit allows residents to park for 4hours in all 1-hour and 2-hour zones on Westmount streets. The annual fee for this permit is $20. PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY ONE W PERMIT IS ISSUED PER HOUSEHOLD.
Please note that these permits DO NOT supersede other parking restrictions, including parking meters, no-parking zones, fire hydrants or temporary signage. ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE PARKING.
Regular Hours
- Monday to Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.)
Summer Hours
- Monday to Thursday: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.)
- Friday: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Renewals can be made within 30 days after the expiration date without the trouble of being considered a new applicant. Please note, however, that the applicant remains responsible for all parking infractions received during this period. AVOID FINES BY RENEWING YOUR PERMIT BEFORE IT EXPIRES.
Special permission is required for exceptional parking on Westmount streets, including overnight parking for visitors and temporary permits when a driveway or garage is inaccessible. AVOID A PARKING TICKET -- contact Public Security first by phoning 514 989-5225:
8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
7 days a week
You may also use the internet application by clicking here. Be prepared to provide your name, address, the location of the parked vehicle and its license plate number. The overnight parking permission (11 p.m. to 8 a.m.) should be recorded by Public Security before 11 p.m.
Please note that for temporary overnight parking the cumulative duration of these special permissions must not exceed 30 nights per vehicle per calendar year.
Westmount also operates outdoor parking lots at the following locations:
- Greene Avenue between Sherbrooke Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard
- Prince Albert Avenue near St. Catherine Street
- Tupper Street near Gladstone Avenue
- Victoria Avenue north of Sherbrooke Street
Please note that special permits are required for the Prince Albert and Tupper lots and that fees for these permits vary. Contact the Parking Permits Office or check our Web site for up-to-date information.
In addition, there are significant waiting lists for parking lot permits. To submit your name, please contact the Parking Permits Office.
Snow removal
Advance warning of snow removal and the times at which it will be taking place are given by flashing or fixed lights on major thoroughfares and by special notices placed on side streets. Please check your street daily following any heavy snowfall, as vehicles blocking snow removal operations will be towed.
Street cleaning
Street cleaning occurs on a fixed schedule and parking is not permitted during the designated periods, which are clearly posted. Check parking signs carefully, as these restrictions are strictly enforced.
Residents moving in or out of Westmount can reserve parking spaces for moving trucks by calling the Public Works Department the day before the move. Businesses may also reserve parking spaces temporarily by obtaining a permit from Public Works. For more details, please contact the department at 514 989-5311.
