Residential permits
About residential permits
We have a number of resident-only parking zones in Derby.
Residents are also able to purchase resident visitor permits to give to visitors attending their property.
Our enforcement officers carry out regular patrols to make sure parking spaces are used correctly. The income generated from the sale of permits helps to fund effective enforcement across Derby.
Vehicle exemptions
Motorcycles are exempt from resident-only parking zones and do not need a parking permit.
Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) or those that weigh 7.5 tonnes or more are not eligible for resident-only or visitor permits.
Resident-only permits
If you live in a resident-only parking zone, you can purchase an annual permit for your address costing £35.
Additional permits for the same address are priced at £60 per permit.
There are a number of designated resident-only parking zones in Derby.
When you buy your resident permit online, you will receive a digital permit. This means that you do not need to display anything in your vehicle. You simply pay and go.
Alternatively, if you would prefer a paper permit or require general advice, contact our Customer Service team on 01332 640000 or contact us online.
