Residents may apply, in person, for an On-street Parking Waiver at the Nahant police station. The fee is $30/waiver and is non-refundable, if the waiver is denied.
Waiver Information: If you are a resident of Nahant and do not have adequate off street parking, you may pick up a Parking Waiver Application at the Nahant Police Station. Once the application is submitted and reviewed you will be notified upon its approval. A $30.00 nonrefundable application fee is required in order to process each request for a parking waiver. This fee must be paid by check or money order only and made payable to the "Town of Nahant" prior to review of the application. Cash Will Not Be Accepted. All vehicles at the residence must be registered to that address. If there are two off street parking spaces, but there are three vehicles at the residence, all three must be registered to that address in order to qualify for one waiver permit needed for on street parking. Commercial or lease vehicles must have the operator/lesser residing at that address. Persons applying for a parking waiver permit Must get off street parking when it snows or when a snow emergency has been declared due to a forecasted snow fall. All vehicles, With or Without a parking waiver, Must be off the street when it snows or when a snow emergency has been declared due to a forecasted snowfall. Any vehicle left on the street during a snow storm (whether a declared snow emergency or not) will be subject to a fine for impeding Snow Removal, which is $50.00. In addition, the registered owner will also be subject to a towing charge when the vehicle is removed from the street. Violations (such as impeding snow removal) will result in a review and possible Revocation of the Parking Waiver.

Should any on of the departments reject the location selected, the application will be returned to the applicant so they can find a suitable area to park.
