Parking permits

All of our on-street parking permits for residents’ use, their visitors and trade persons’ permits (dispensations) can be bought online.

The majority of our resident zone parking permits are now paperless*. They are issued as digital or virtual permits. Permit information can be found by our enforcement officers entering registration numbers into their handheld devices.

Any remaining paper resident permits will be phased out as they come up for renewal throughout the year, except for those residents who have no ability to manage a digital permit account for whom alternatives will be provided.

*Exeter S1 Matchday scheme and Sidmouth A permits, essential visitor permits, annual trade permits and charity business pool permits will remain issued on paper at this time.

Motorcycle owners do not need a permit for parking in the S1 or Sidmouth A zones.
