   (4)   Until its expiration, surrender, or revocation, a parking permit shall remain valid for such time as the holder continues to reside within the same permit parking district.
   (5)   A parking permit shall be valid only in the permit parking district for which it is issued except in the case of overlapping districts as set forth in subsection (3) of Section 12-2703 of this Chapter.
   (6)   For the purposes of this Chapter the person to whom a parking permit is issued shall be deemed its holder and shall be responsible for the use or misuse of any parking permit issued to him or her.
