Parking in Anmore

Like all municipalities, the Village of Anmore enforces regulations governing parking on public roads and rights of way. There are public parking restrictions, and the Village also has both a Resident Vehicle Decal program and a Temporary Parking Permit for special events.

Public Parking Restrictions 

Parking is not permitted on side streets near Buntzen Lake along Sunnyside Road. Parking is also not permitted on any boulevard or pathway/walkway within Anmore at any time during the year.

In addition, Anmore’s zoning and business licence bylaws do not permit the use of private land to sell parking. This type of parking impedes emergency response, blocks driveways, causes a nuisance for area residents and poses other safety concerns as the properties do not have properly prepared parking surfaces.

During the high-traffic months of summer, Anmore has the following measures in place on weekends:

  • Additional bylaw enforcement to deal with illegal parking
  • Towing patrols
  • Sign boards at both Village entrance points to communicate when Buntzen Lake is at capacity

To report illegal parking, make a bylaw complaint or contact the bylaw officer.

Anmore Resident Vehicle Decals

To provide Anmore residents with dedicated parking areas in the community and options for additional public parking for events or other temporary circumstances, the Village of Anmore has two programs: Resident Vehicle Decals and Temporary Parking Permits.

Anmore issues Resident Vehicle Decals to allow its residents to park in designated parking areas. If you have a decal, place it on the windshield of your vehicle for easy visibility.

Vehicle decals also identify Anmore residents so that they continue to have full access to Anmore roads when traffic management crews are directing vehicles away from congested areas.

A decal is not a parking pass for all street parking; it is only for the designated residential parking areas in Anmore. Designated residential parking is noted with parking signs in the following areas:

  • Half of available parking on Elementary Road
  • Parking spaces on Sunnyside Road between Alder and Ludlow

To apply for a Resident Vehicle Decal: 

  • Email decal requests to village.hall@anmore.com

  • Include the following information in the email:
  • First and last names
  • Anmore street address
  • Vehicle make, model and licence plate number

The Village will issue a decal for each vehicle registered to an Anmore household.

Temporary Parking Permits 

Anmore’s Temporary Parking Permit provides a short-term solution for residents who require additional parking during a temporary circumstance or event. To apply for a Temporary Parking Permit, complete the  application form and email it to village.hall@anmore.com.
