If an owner or lessee replaces his or her automobile, such owner or lessee shall apply for and obtain a new permit and resident parking sticker. The sticker must be prominently displayed on the automobile for which it was issued (in a way consistent with the State Vehicle Code), and the corresponding permit must be produced upon demand by any member of the Swarthmore Borough Police Department or the Borough Secretary.
