Local services and rules

Moving to Paramount: who to call and what the city asks.

Paramount, a city in Los Angeles County, California, bars commercial vehicles from standing on public streets, on private property in a residential zone or with a residential use, and in City-owned off-street parking facilities. Separately, vehicles over 6,000 pounds gross weight may drive or park only on streets signed as truck traffic routes, with exceptions allowed by the Vehicle Code and the City code.

Loading time, waivers and the 20-foot clearance

A prohibited commercial vehicle may be parked on a public street or private property while actively being loaded or unloaded, for a maximum of 12 consecutive hours. City staff may create and implement a system to issue parking waivers for short-term needs. A clear and unobstructed width of at least 20 feet must be left on a public highway opposite any standing vehicle, except for a vehicle disabled on the main traveled portion.

Truck traffic routes

The streets declared truck traffic routes are Alondra Boulevard, Compton Boulevard, Garfield Avenue, Orange Avenue (south of Compton Boulevard), Paramount Boulevard (Rosecrans Avenue to Century Boulevard) and Rosecrans Avenue (to Century Boulevard).

Construction and remodeling noise permits

Construction, repair or remodeling noise is exempt from the noise limits only if a permit was obtained from the Building Department and the work does not take place between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

Athens Services barrels and curb placement

Athens Services is the trash and recycling service provider for residents and businesses, and supplies blue recycling barrels and green-waste barrels. Where a property is not on a paved, dedicated alley with access at each end of the block, the container goes on the curb in front of the premises, or on the curb at the side where the premises adjoin more than one street. Containers must be removed from the street, sidewalk, curb or alley immediately after collection, and in any event within 12 hours.

Bulky goods pickup

Bulky goods may not be placed beside a street or public right-of-way without first making arrangements with a bulky/solid waste removal contractor authorized by the City. An owner or occupant may contact the City or its authorized contractor at least 24 hours before the normal waste collection day to request collection of bulky material, and if notice is given the removal is at no cost.

City water, Edison and Clean Power Alliance

Water for 95% of residents and businesses comes from the City's own water utility. Each new user, owner or tenant must make a written application for water service on City forms at the collections office of the division. An existing customer changing address within the City system may apply by telephone.

Southern California Edison delivers the electricity, maintains and repairs the infrastructure, and bills customers. Clean Power Alliance is an electricity provider for the City, and customers can opt out of it and remain with Southern California Edison. A city utility users tax is charged on electricity, gas and telecommunication services and is collected by the service supplier.

ParentVue enrollment and dog licenses

Paramount Unified School District enrolls students through a ParentVue account; a family without one creates it and enters the student's information. A student must live within the attendance boundaries of the district or be considered a resident based on parent employment.

Any dog over four months of age must be licensed and registered.
