To apply for a permit, click here.

The parking zones are in force between Monday to Saturday from 8:00am to 6:00pm. To apply for a residents parking permit you will need to provide:

  • proof of that you currently live at an address within the zone you are applying for

  • your vehicle registration, make, model and colour

  • your vehicle registration document (V5) registered at the same address as the above (a valid insurance certificate is acceptable in place of the V5)

  • a payment card

Any household can have a maximum of two permits per house: Unless you live in an HMO your first residents or visitor permit will cost £36.00, and second permits are £72.00. HMO parking permits are £72.00 each.

You can apply for a low emission vehicle permit if your vehicle's CO2 emissions is less than 120g/km and in the car tax band of A, B or C. In order to apply for this type of permit you will need to provide a copy of your V5 document (registered to the property), detailing the CO2 emissions. Your first low emissions resident permit will cost £18.00, and second permits are £36.00 each.

You may be entitled to a free parking permit if you are in receipt of income support, a means tested benefit, or have a disabled driver blue badge. You will still need to apply for a permit, and evidence of your entitlement will be required.

After applying and paying online you should receive your permit within 10 days, however you can park straight away using a temporary reference number. Write it clearly on piece of paper, and place it in the windscreen of your vehicle until your permit arrives in the post.

Your permit will be delivered with a book of ten visitor scratchcards, so that your friends and family can also park within the residents parking zones when they visit. These are valid for just one day. Additional scratchcard books cost £17.00, and a maximum of 10 books per year can be purchased.

If vou do not have an annual residents permit you may still apply for one free book of visitor scratch-cards per property, per year.

Permits and visitor scratchcards must be clearly displayed within your vehicle's front windscreen, on the passenger's side. A parking space on your street is NOT guaranteed, but you may park your vehicle within the 1B permit holder parking on any of the following streets:

Alexandra Terrace; Allison Place; Allison Street; Ashlin Grove; Avenue Terrace: Charles Street West; Depot Street; Gresham Street: Hamoton Street: Nelson Street; Newland Street West; North Parade; Richmond Road; Rudgard Lane; South Parade: St Faiths Street; The Park; Victoria Street: Victoria Terrace: Wellington Street; West Parade; Whitehall Grove; Whitehall Terrace; and Yarborough Road.

Please do not park in other zones as you may be issued with a ticket.

Your permit also allows you to park in any of the City of Lincoln Council pay and display car parks between the hours of 5pm-9.30am Monday to Saturday, and all day Sunday, except for Bank Holidays where you may park from 5pm to 9:30am. Residents' parking permits do not allow the user to exceed the stated time limit in any limited stay parking areas.

All parking permits are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. A £5 administration fee will be charged for replacements, or changes to permits.

Any tradesman working on your property can apply for a parking exception or waiver for their vehicle. However this should be done well in advance of the date required. For information on how to apply, please email Lincolnshire County Council Highways Department:
