Renew your resident parking permit

Complete this form to renew your existing parking permit.

We issue virtual resident parking permits. There is no paper version to display in your vehicle. Make sure you know your controlled parking zone prefix when leaving your vehicle in a permit holder bay.

Civil enforcement officers have handheld devices that tell them if a vehicle has a valid resident parking permit. Vehicles without a valid virtual resident parking permit will be liable to a penalty charge notice.

New parking permit process

The way we process resident and business parking permits has changed. Read about the changes.

If you created an account before 24 November 2024, you must create a new one. When you register for a new account, you may need to re-upload a copy of the required recent proof of your residency and a copy of your vehicle registration document (V5C).

Reminders

You can set up email reminders to alert you when your current permit is about to expire. This replaces previous paper reminder letters being sent through the post.

Changed address or vehicle

If you have moved to a property in the same zone or a different parking zone, you need to log in to your account and update your information. You can update the details in your parking account to keep your information up to date. 

If you have moved out of a parking zone area, you may be entitled to a partial refund of the full remaining unexpired months.

Contact the Residential Permits Team for more information. 

Terms and conditions of renewing your resident parking permit

I declare that my normal place of abode is at the address stipulated in my permit account and I intend to be there for at least six weeks. I understand that any permit issued to me by Oxfordshire County Council is for the vehicle and address as provided in my permit account details.   

I will notify the Council’s Residential Permits Team if I cease to: 

  • be a resident at the specified address 
  • own the specified vehicle. 

I will only allow my virtual visitors’ permits to be used for parking a vehicle which belongs: 

  • to me (or is on hire or lease); 
  • to a member of my household at my given address; 
  • or to a visitor to my household at my given address and where that visit is the primary purpose of parking the vehicle. 

I understand that any abuse, as set out in the terms of the Traffic Regulation Order including the sale or attempted sale of permits, may result in Oxfordshire County Council withdrawing my account. I may also be disqualified from applying for any further virtual visitor parking permits for up to six months or such different time period as prescribed by the Order as varied from time to time. 

I declare that all the information I have given in this application is correct and understand that a false statement may render me liable for prosecution. I understand that Oxfordshire County Council reserves the right to check council databases and third-party systems to confirm my eligibility.
