Parking - Apply for a parking permit

You can use this service to apply for a parking permit within a Lincoln resident parking zone. 

The permit types you can apply for are:

  • Resident parking permits
  • Visitor parking permits
  • Business parking permits
  • Parking permits for houses in multiple occupation (such as student accommodation)

You can only apply if your home or business address is within a residents parking zone 

  • All permits are valid for 12 months. Permits are issued per calendar month so will always start from the 1st day of any given month
  • Once your application is paid for you can park straight away using a temporary reference number.

For areas where you can park using your resident parking permit see on-street signage and the link below maintained by Lincolnshire County Council, which details all parking restrictions.
