Parking permits expire Wednesday for residents of downtown Wilmington and two other neighborhoods.

Permit stickers for parking areas F, T, X, Y and Z will expire on Wednesday. (See map below.) Drivers will need to renew their permits online, by mail or by fax.

The city introduced Digital Residential Parking Permits by Zone in June. The program is eliminating parking permit stickers. Officials will use license plate recognition technology to enforce parking rules. The program is free and must be renewed annually, the city said.

Residents are encouraged to use the city website to apply for, receive and renew their parking permits.

All outstanding parking citations or violations must be paid before a parking permit is issued.

Some zones have not yet been converted to the digital permit system and will still be enforced by stickers:

Zone A and Zone W stickers expire June 30.

Zone G stickers expire Dec. 31.

Zone H and I stickers expire Jan. 31.

Zone J and Zone R stickers expire Feb. 28.

Zone K stickers expire March 31.

Zone L stickers expire April 30.

Zone M stickers expire May 31.

Residents should receive a renewal notification by mail, according to the city website.
