Parking permits

Contract permits

If you use car parks regularly you may find it more convenient to buy a contract permit. The permit will allow you to park in most of the Council's long stay car parks and offers good value for money.

A full list of applicable car parks and location maps are available from Parking Services on request. Alternatively they can be found on this web site in where to park. Permits are valid Monday to Sunday.

Contract permits are not valid for on street parking.

The prices for contract parking permits are as follows:

All prices are inclusive of VAT.

If you change your vehicle, please notify Parking Services immediately. You will be asked to complete a replacement permit application form.  Please note, when changing vehicle details a new permit will only be issued on production of the old permit and a completed application form. If you are temporarily using a courtesy vehicle, for example whilst your own car is being repaired at a garage, then you must contact Parking Services on (01422) 392171 / 392125 with the registration number, make and model of the courtesy vehicle to make us aware of this.

The permit is only valid for use by vehicles whose registration numbers are displayed on the permit. You may choose to include details of two vehicles on the permit.  You must clearly display the permit on the front nearside of the vehicle's windscreen at all times whilst parked. Failure to clearly display a valid Contract Permit may result in a 'Penalty Charge Notice' being issued.

Any alteration of the permit will render it invalid.

Parking spaces

The permit does not guarantee, nor does it reserve, a space in any of the Council's car parks. However, Parking Services operates a permit parking only area in High Street car park in Halifax.

Renewing a parking permit

Permits are not renewed automatically, it is the permit holder's responsibility to re-apply for a new permit.

How to apply

You will need to complete an application form and return it to Parking Services along with your payment. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, postal order or by debit/credit card. If your employer is paying for the permit we may be able to invoice them, however, this is at the discretion of Parking Services.  In order to consider this, we will require an official order on company headed paper along with a completed application form.

Please apply at least seven days prior to expiry in order to allow time for your permit to be processed.
