Where to Get a Disabled Parking Placard in Grayson County

The form is VTR-214, the Application for Persons with Disabilities Parking Placard and/or License Plate. A doctor, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or chiropractor fills out and signs the medical part certifying the disability, then you bring the finished application to the Grayson County Tax Office at 100 W. Houston St. in Sherman, or the branch up in Denison. A permanent placard is free; a temporary red one for a short-term condition runs a small fee. If you want it on actual license plates instead of a hang tag, you do that at the same counter.

One rule catches people, and the penalty is no joke: the placard is good only when the person it was issued to is actually in the vehicle, riding or driving. Lending it to a family member to grab a closer spot while you wait at home is misuse, and that can cost up to $1,250 in fines plus community service. The blue spaces are tied to the person, not the car.

If the placard is lost or stolen, the same Sherman office handles the replacement. Don't just go without, because parking on an expired or missing tag in a marked space gets ticketed.
