If you would like to take care of the permit yourself the first thing you do is go to 333 Washington St. in Brookline, which is the Brookline Town Hall. On the 4th floor is the Transportation Division, which where you will both pay for and pick up your "no parking" signs. Sometimes the office doesn't seem very well staffed, but someone always comes out to help and they're very nice there.

Each sign costs $5, so you'll be paying $10 for two. In addition to the sign fee, you'll have to pay $7.50 per meter space if the truck will be occupying meter spaces during your move. You will have to put the signs up yourself. Per the Town of Brookline, signs cannot be put up until after 7 pm the night before the move (its possible its 5 PM. The town issued signs and paperwork will state this information). You can request a parking as far in advance as you'd like, but the signs can't go up until the night before. So far, this short time line hasn't caused any problems, but its good to be aware and check the space as early as possible the next day to make sure no one is parked there. Also, be aware that the office is not open on weekends, so if you have a Monday move scheduled you'll need to go get your signs on Friday the latest.
If you have any further questions, either specific to your particular move or about information that wasn't covered here, you can call the Transportation Division at 617.730.2177.
