Residential Parking Permits
Residential Parking Permits decals are available at the Harpers Ferry Police Department. The permit fee is $5.00 per decal. Permits expire at the end of the calendar year and are not prorated. Applicants must complete the Application for Residential Parking Permit. Present the completed form, along with a current driver’s license, vehicle registration, and permit fee, to the Police Department Clerk, Susan Waters, who will process the application. If the address on the driver's license is NOT Harpers Ferry, the applicant must provide other proof of residential status (water bill, electric bill, etc.). Applications must be complete for processing. A Guest Pass may also be obtained; see the Police Department Clerk for that form. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., closed for lunch from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m.
The Harpers Ferry Police Department protects and serves the citizens of Harpers Ferry. Mutual cooperative agreements with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and the National Park Service allow the Police Department to assist outside the boundaries of the Town when necessary, and vice versa.
In accordance with West Virginia Code § 8-14-6 et seq., Ordinance Article 127, and a referendum approved by the voters of the Town on 8 June 1993, a Civil Service Commission, appointed by the Town Council, oversees the appointments, promotions, and other applicable provisions pertaining to officers of the Harpers Ferry Police Department.
Parking enforcement within Harpers Ferry falls under the responsibilities and authority of the Police Department, in conjunction with the Parking Committee. Residential street parking is by permit only. The application for parking permits, as well as the official parking policy, can be found in the column at right.
