TextResidential Permit Parking District Program (RPPD)
The Fairfax County Residential Permit Parking District (RPPD) program was created to reduce traffic in residential areas, protect those areas from the environmental impacts of commuting, allow access to properties, and preserve the residential character of these areas. This is implemented by creating on-street parking restrictions in designated areas in accordance with the Code of the County of Fairfax, Chapter 82, Article 5A.

Decal Types
There are six different types of decals and passes used in RPPDs. They are:
-
Vehicle Decals - Valid for up to two years. They are affixed to the
lower left of a vehicle's rear window (may not be taped on). If the
vehicle does not have a rear window or the window is obscured, the
decal may be displayed on the rear-most driver's side window in the
lower right corner.
-
Visitor Passes - Eligible residences may be issued one laminated,
transferable visitor pass. The pass is to be displayed on the
dashboard.
-
Sixty-Day Passes - For persons who have just moved into an RPPD and do
not yet have the required documentation for a decal. A resident is
entitled to only one 60-day pass. The pass is to be displayed on the
dashboard.
-
Vehicle Exemption Passes - Issued at the discretion of the Police
Department or DOT to allow vehicles to park in RPPDs on a temporary
basis for a specific reason, usually for less than 30 days. The pass is
to be displayed on the dashboard. Persons requesting an exemption pass
must have the license plate number of the vehicle that will display the
pass.
-
Non-Resident Owner Passes - Issued to non-resident property owners who
need to park in an RPPD to remodel or repair their property. The pass
is to be displayed on the dashboard.
- Temporary Residential Permit Parking District Pass – Temporary RPPDs may be established to address short-term situations, such as construction projects, that create temporary parking problems in adjacent residential areas. The temporary pass is valid for at least six months or until the situation causing the parking problem has ended.
RPPD restrictions do not apply to public agency vehicles, marked vehicles providing services or deliveries.
