Ordinance 1295 went into effect on September 11, 2026. Vehicles may not be stored or parked on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours, and after reaching the 72-hour limit, the vehicle must be moved at least two city blocks or 500 feet. Once moved, the vehicle must remain outside that area for at least 6 days before returning anywhere within the required distance of its original parking location. 

This ordinance created a Temporary Parking Permit process which would allow a vehicle to remain parked beyond the normal time limit for a total period of up to 8 consecutive calendar days. Temporary permits are intended to provide reasonable flexibility for residents while keeping our public streets safe, accessible, and available for their intended use.

Temporary Parking Permit Application Packets can be obtained at the link below and applications/necessary documents can be submitted to City Hall, 185 W. 8th Avenue. 

For questions or additional information on this change, please contact Police Lieutenant Chuck Salsbury at csalsbury@ci.junction-city.or.us or call the Police Department at 541-9998-1245.
