Parking Permits

Use this guide to get information about the different parking permits available for West Devon Borough Council-run car parks. If you are looking for an on-street parking permit you will need to contact Devon County Council.

Please note, we do not offer any weekly parking permits.

Our online Parking Permit system has changed as of 1 November 2024. Current Permit Portal Account Holders will need to reregister a new account on the new Permit Portal to continue to apply for permits from this date. 

Our Permit types and prices are unchanged. Pre-existing permits purchased via the previous system will remain valid up to their expiry dates. Once a permit is nearing expiration you will need to reapply for your permits through the new permit portal.
