Parking permit schemes
We provide parking permits to residents, visitors, and businesses, allowing them to park in designated permit bays near their home or workplace in areas covered by a permit scheme.
Most permit schemes now operate under a permit zoning system. This means you can park in any designated permit bay located within your assigned zone, regardless of the street. Vehicles without a valid permit are not permitted to park in these bays or areas.
Remember:
- a permit does not guarantee a parking space or a space directly outside your property
- it only allows you to park if a space is available
Discounts are available for:
- Blue Badge holders
- individuals receiving the State Pension (only one discount can be applied per property)
Permit zone schemes are currently active in selected areas of Inverness, Fort William, and Nairn.
If your application is refused, any payment will be cancelled or refunded. However, issued permits are non-refundable under normal circumstances.
Change of vehicle
In future, if you change your vehicle and still have a valid permit, use the online process to amend your details.
