HONK Streamlines Resident Parking Permits for Municipalities

New feature eliminates manual approvals and paperwork for municipalities and property managers

HONK, North America’s leader in payments for parking and mobility, is making it easier for municipalities to issue and manage resident parking permits. HONK’s new Resident Permits feature automates the application process, replacing spreadsheets and paper forms with a customizable online workflow that simplifies approvals.

Many municipalities still rely on manual, time-consuming processes to verify residency and issue permits—leading to administrative bottlenecks, errors, and delays for residents. HONK’s solution moves the entire process online: residents apply through a municipality-branded form, and parking operators review and approve requests from a central dashboard.

Why It Matters:

• No more in-person visits – Residents submit applications and documents online—no paper, no waiting in line.
• Cuts administrative time – No more tracking permits through email chains and spreadsheets.
• Improves accuracy – Centralized permit management reduces errors and lost applications.
• Better resident experience – Faster approvals and a simple, online application process.
• Customizable for each municipality – Branding, form fields, and workflows tailored to local needs.

“With Resident Permits, we’re giving municipalities and property managers the tools to modernize without adding complexity,” said Michael Back, HONK Founder and CEO. “No expensive software. No messy integrations. Just a simple, effective way to manage resident permits.”

The Resident Permits feature is now available for municipalities and property managers looking to streamline their permit approval process and eliminate manual work.
