Getting a Disabled Parking Placard in Kerr County

A disabled parking placard doesn't come from the DMV in Austin or from a doctor's office directly. In Texas you get it from your county tax office. In Kerr County that's the Tax Assessor-Collector at 700 Main Street in Kerrville, or the West Kerr annex at 510 College Street in Ingram, the same windows where people renew registration.

The form is TxDMV's VTR-214. The applicant fills out their part, and a licensed health-care provider completes the disability statement certifying the condition. That statement is also what sets whether the placard is permanent (renewable, typically good for several years) or temporary, issued for a shorter recovery period. A permanent placard carries no fee; a temporary one has a small charge.

Bring the completed VTR-214 with the provider's section signed, plus your ID. If your disability is permanent and you'd rather have it on the vehicle itself, the same office can set you up with disabled license plates instead of, or alongside, the hanging placard.
