Village residents have the flexibility to create visitor day or overnight parking passes (OPP) without having to visit the gatehouse. 

But what if a guest who has a day parking pass wishes to spend the night? 

Visitors cannot change a pass’ status. Instead, residents can log in to their dwellingLIVE app and select the OPP option or call gate clearance at 949-597-4301 to request an OPP pass. 

While there is no need to reprint the parking pass after the status is changed, the resident may pick one up at any gatehouse if desired. As long as a visitor’s parking status is updated and verified in the system, they will not be subject to citation and/or a fine for violating the overnight parking ordinance. However, please remember that regardless of parking status, any visitor must display a parking pass on their vehicle’s dash while parked in the Village. This information assists officers in accurately identifying the manor with which the vehicle is associated when verifying the day pass was updated to an OPP.

Residents can create an OPP for up to two weeks. Beyond that two-week period and up to 60 days per calendar year, residents must contact gate clearance or Resident Services (serviciosresidentes@vmsinc.org, 949-597-4600).

Although we all enjoy a protected sense of security inside the gates of Laguna Woods Village, our community sees many visitors. With the increased activity comes an increase in petty theft. Residents have reported items stolen from carports, open patios and even from some of the garden plots. 

The first defense is to keep valuable possessions, especially bicycles, golf accessories and garden tools, secured and out of sight. It can’t be a temptation if no one knows where you have stored it. If you notice irregular behavior from individuals you do not recognize, call Security Dispatch at 949-580-1400.

Our Security Department has a strong partnership with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, which allows for effective sharing of information regarding increased theft activity in the Village. Security personnel encourage all community members to stay alert and remember the motto, “See Something, Say Something.” 

Taking an extra 3 or 4 seconds to secure vehicles, garages, carports and cabinets, and keeping valuables out of plain sight, will keep our Village the safest community in the region. Reduce the risk of becoming a target by taking the steps listed below to conceal and secure your property both within and outside the Village.

• Remove cell phones, cameras, laptop computers, briefcases, backpacks, wallets and purses from unattended vehicles. Do not leave giftwrapped packages or other valuable items lying on the seat. Lock all other valuables in the trunk or glove compartment, or take them with you.
• Always close your windows and lock your vehicle and garage doors.
• Secure your carport cabinets with heavy-duty locks.
• Don’t leave your vehicle in unattended parking lots for extended periods. A car is five times more likely to be stolen from an unattended lot than from the street or an attended lot.
• Never attach a tag with your name and address to your key ring. If the keys are lost or stolen, the tag will lead the thief directly to your car and home. If you have to leave your keys with a parking attendant, leave only the ignition key.
• Park your car near or under a street light at night.
• Consider adding a car alarm system. Always set your alarm if so equipped.
