Beverly Hills Moving Van No‑Parking Signs & Permits Guide

Moving day in Beverly Hills should not stall because your truck has nowhere to park. With a little planning, you can legally reserve curb space, avoid tickets, and keep your movers on schedule. In this guide, you will learn the exact steps, costs, and deadlines for reserving street parking, plus when you need a formal permit. Let’s dive in.

Street parking options in Beverly Hills

The City offers temporary “No Parking” signs to reserve otherwise legal curb space for a moving truck. You buy the signs at City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive. Signs cost $8.10 each, with a two‑sign minimum per address, and each sign is single use. Review the City’s procedures on the official Moving Van Parking page for current details and posting rules.

When “No Parking” signs are enough

For most residential moves, City “No Parking” signs are sufficient. You must post them at least 72 hours before the move and notify Police Dispatch after posting, as instructed by the City. Residential move hours are generally 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The City notes that residential moves on the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard are handled differently and do not require these signs.

When you need a street-use permit

If your move will block a lane, use multiple meter spaces, or involve oversized or heavy vehicles, you will need more than simple signs. Public Right‑of‑Way Use permits and traffic plans are required for activities that obstruct the street, such as 18‑wheelers or cranes. Traffic plans must be submitted at least 96 hours in advance, and insurance is required. The City may require traffic control or police escorts for certain loads.

• Oversized and heavy haul: Public Right‑of‑Way and Hauling
• Reserving meter spaces or valet control: Valet and Special Occasion Permits

Step-by-step timeline
