Use a unique design with your property&#8217;s logo. Opt for features like holographic foils, custom shapes, or barcodes that are difficult and expensive to replicate.7 Sequentially numbering each permit also allows you to track every permit issued.<\/p>\n<p>2. Should I use different types of permits for residents and guests?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Yes, this is highly recommended. Using a durable plastic hang tag for residents and a different colored, time-limited paper permit for guests makes it instantly clear who is who. This simplifies enforcement and prevents guests from overstaying their welcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> What&#8217;s the difference between a bumper sticker and a window decal?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> A bumper sticker is applied to the exterior of the car&#8217;s bumper and is made of highly durable, weather-resistant vinyl.8 A window decal can be applied to either the inside or outside of the glass.9 Inside-face decals are applied inside to look out, protecting them from weather and scraping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Do I need to register each permit to a specific vehicle?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> For a high-security system using decals, yes. You should maintain a database that links the decal&#8217;s number to the vehicle&#8217;s make, model, and license plate. For a hang tag system, it&#8217;s good practice to register the tag to a resident or employee, who is then responsible for its use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> How many parking permits should I order?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Always order more than you think you need. Account for new tenants or employees, lost permits that need replacing, and future growth. Ordering in a slightly larger quantity can also reduce the per-unit cost, saving you money in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there anything more frustrating for a property manager than a parking lot in chaos?
