House in multiple occupancy visitor parking

HMO authorisation permits and visitor parking permit terms and conditions

  1. The account holder of a HMO authorisation permit and members of their household are allowed to buy visitor daily parking permits (visitor permits).
  2. Visitor daily parking permits are intended for the use of personal visitors and tradesmen working on, or within a property. They are not valid for people visiting business premises.
  3. Visitor permits MUST not be sold or transferred or used by paying guests using holiday accommodation. Owners of holiday accommodation, including holiday lets and Airbnb’s, are required to purchase the appropriate Guest House Permit. Persons found to be misusing their permits are liable to prosecution.
  4. Each household may have 1 HMO authorisation permit; a HMO being defined as a property occupied by unrelated tenants, each with a self-contained, lockable room.
  5. Each household with a proof of residence permit is entitled to an annual allocation of 200 per year.
  6. Refunds for unused permits will not be provided.
  7. Discounted prices are available for visitor permits for those residents over 60 years of age, disabled badge holders, and those in receipt of Employment Support Allowance, Long-Term Incapacity Benefit or Income Support. Proof of entitlement to the discount must be provided on application.
  8. City of York Council reserves the right to withdraw any permit found to have been improperly issued or used. If your permit is withdrawn or you are refused a permit, you have a right to appeal.
  9. A permit may be surrendered at any time by notifying Parking Services via your Permit Portal account. A refund will be given to the value of any unexpired months of the permit.
  10. Please be aware that you are not able to purchase visitor permits until you have received confirmation that your authorisation permit has been approved and you have been issued with a permit number. A Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) will be issued to any vehicles parked without a valid permit. A permit application is not a permit and does not provide you with any exemptions from the parking regulations in place. A permit application will not be considered as a mitigating factor in any appeals received against the issue of a PCN.
  11. The permit is only for your use.
  12. The permit will no longer be valid if you no longer reside at the address.
  13. The permit may be withdrawn if you misuse it.
  14. You must not sell or transfer the permit.
  15. It is an offence for a person knowingly to make a false statement for the purpose of obtaining a parking permit. The council will not hesitate to prosecute, and a conviction will result in substantial penalties. The council is under a duty to protect the public funds it administers and to this end may use the information you have provided for the prevention and detection of fraud. It may also share this information with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds for these purposes.
