Parking permits for all the off-street City-owned parking lots are issued in the Clerk's office and may be purchased monthly.

Residential Reserved Handicap Parking
In order to be eligible for a reserved handicap parking space in front of a home, an individual must have a handicapped license plate issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. To request a reserved handicap space contact the Clerk's office. The request is reviewed by the New Albany Police Department to see if the residence meets the requirements. Your request and the police officer's recommendation are then considered by the Board of Works, which ultimately makes the final decision. Handicap Parking Placards
In order to be eligible for a Handicap Parking Placard, an individual must be a Floyd County resident and submit an application and a medical recommendation signed by their physician to the Clerk's office. Once the Clerk receives the executed forms a placard will be immediately issued. Once an individual receives a Handicap Placard it must be renewed yearly. Handicap Application Form
