Resident Parking Permits

East Herts Council manage a number of resident permit parking schemes within certain areas of the district. This ensures local residents have the opportunity to park within close proximity to their household. A resident permit will be valid for 12 months and after this time, we will email you to see if you would like to renew your permit at the same price as a new application.

East Herts Council manages a number of resident permit parking schemes to help ensure residents in town centre areas have the opportunity to park at or near their home. Resident parking permits are usually valid for a period of 12 months, at which point they must be renewed.

To obtain a resident parking permit you need to provide documentary evidence that you live within a permit zone and that the vehicle(s) in question is registered to your address. In most scheme areas you may buy a maximum of two permits per household.

Visitor Vouchers

Visitor vouchers can also be purchased and the number of visitor hours per annum varies between schemes. Please note that visitor parking hours are not valid in East Herts Council car parks. Permit and visitor parking charges are reviewed annually.

Resident permits and visitor parking are managed through our online permit management system.

The online system allows you to:
