Parking permits

All of our on-street parking permits for use by residents’, 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.

Residents who have no ability to manage a digital permit account can find details on how to apply for and receive a paper permit in our Help and support – Roads and transport information.

*Exeter S1 Matchday scheme and Sidmouth A permits, essential visitor permits, annual trade permits, some business 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.
