Purchase Requirements

In order to purchase a City of White Rock Pay Parking Decal, please provide your:

  • British Columbia valid driver's licence
  • Current Owner's certificate of Insurance and Vehicle Licence

Both documents must show your current White Rock address.  There is no limit to the number of decals you can buy, but the owner of the vehicle must live in White Rock and the vehicle registration must be for their address in White Rock.   Please note, parking decals are non-refundable and not transferable between vehicles.

Where to Place the Decal

The City of White Rock Pay Parking Decal must be affixed to the lower inside corner of the driver's side of the windshield. The decal number is registered to your licence plate number. If you change licence plates you must register your new plates to match the decal. Contact the Finance Department to update your vehicle licence plate information finance@whiterockcity.ca or 604-541-2100.

Sale of Vehicle

Ideally, before you sell your vehicle, remove your decal.  Usually using a blow dryer will soften the glue enough to remove it.  You can then place it on your new car’s windshield.  If you got a new licence plate, please contact the City at 604-541-2148  to update your vehicle information.  Contact the City to arrange a replacement decal if the decal could not be removed.

Windshield Replacement

Ideally, before your windshield is replaced, remove your decal. Usually using a blow dryer will soften the glue enough to remove it. You can then place it on your new windshield. Contact the City at 604-541-2148 and we can arrange for a replacement decal if it could not be removed.
