How to Manage Special Permits
What is a Special Permit?
A Special Permit works like a guest permit but is not subject to built-in community time limits. Special Permits should be issued on a case-by-case basis where a guest’s need for parking will exceed the guest threshold. For example, perhaps your community rules state that a guest may park for 72 hours in a 7-day period, but a resident has an out-of-town guest arriving for a week. A Special Permit allows the guest to safely park without the constraints of guest parking time limits.
How can I create a Special Permit?
-
Log in to the Manager dashboard on your mobile device or desktop.
-
From the Parking tab, click "Add" under the Safelist column and then click "Special Permit".
-
Fill out the form with the vehicle license plate number, permit start & stop dates and times, contact info and any other relevant notes.
-
Select “Save”. The vehicle's license plate will now appear on the guest parking Safelist as a Special Permit.
Who can assign a Special Permit?
Only a Manager-level admin can create a Special Permit. Field Agents don’t have access to this function.

Editing or Revoking a Special Permit
Anyone with manager level access can revoke or edit a special permit. You can do so from your account.
- Click "Options" on the Special Permit.
- From the dropdown, click either "Revoke" to revoke the special permit or "Duplicate" to edit.
- If editing, once you hit "Duplicate" you can edit any information necessary and then click "Duplicate". You will need to then revoke the original Special Permit following the instructions listed below.
- If revoking you will be required to enter a reason before clicking the red "Revoke" button.
