Contractor Permit Rules

Texas State University students may not ever use contractor permits.

• Permit requests, changes, and updates will only be accepted from authorized Company Contact.
• Permits must be paid for after they are processed to be activated.
• Permit approval takes 3 – 5 business days. Permit processing times takes 3 – 5 business days. At peak times, such as preparing for the start of a new academic year, permit approval and processing may take longer.
• Contractor Permits are virtual and follow all rules regarding virtual display of permits.
• If an assigned license plate leaves the company, it is the company’s responsibility to notify Parking Services so it can be removed from their account.  A new vehicle can be added to existing permits only if it is replacing a vehicle that is being removed from that permit. 
• Contractors may not use pay-to-park options on campus. All contractors parking on campus must have a permit obtained through the Parking Services construction contractor process.

Parking Permit Request Forms

A permit request form must be filled out every time permits are requested. Incomplete forms will be returned for completion. This will reset the approval and processing times.

By completing the form, contractors acknowledge and agree to abide by all Texas State University Parking Rules and Regulations, and the Contractor Rules.

Submitting a permit request does not guarantee approval. Until the request has been approved and processed, and the permit(s) has been paid for and activated, the vehicle does not have a permit, and is subject to citation and/or immobilization.
