About
Non-Resident Landlord permits allow landlords to park in the Resident Parking Zone of their rental property while visiting. The permit cannot be used in car parks.
Permits are available for one zone. The permit is valid for one specific vehicle at a time, but two vehicle registration numbers can be on the same permit.
Landlords who need to park in one or more Resident’s Parking Zone can apply for a permit for each zone. The landlord must be able to provide evidence that they own a rental property in each zone that they apply for.
The landlord cannot apply for a permit in any zone they live in. We must be satisfied that the landlord does not live in the zone but owns a rental property in the zone.
Annual Non-Resident Landlord Permit Fees
- £150 per resident permit zone
How to apply
You can apply for a Landlord Permit through the MiPermit website.
You need to provide the following evidence:
- Proof that you own a property in the relevant Resident’s Parking Zone but do not live there (such as a Council Tax bill).
- Proof that the vehicle belongs to you or is registered at your home address (such as the V5 document).
- You can choose a start date for the permit, provided it is at least 5 working days after the form is posted.
Renewing your permit
You will receive a reminder by email or post four weeks before your permit expires, provided we have your contact details.
Permits must be renewed every year, as they expire on the date displayed on them. Applications to renew can be made up to one month before the expiry date, and there is no grace period after the expiry.
For renewals, you only need to provide proof of the rental property’s address, as long as the vehicle registration stays the same.
Refunds
If you no longer need your permit, you can get a refund for any full months left, as long as the refund amount is more than £10.
Please email parking@somerset.gov.uk for more information.
Change of vehicle
If you get a new vehicle, you can log into your MiPermit account and change the registration(s) on the permit.
If we find that a permit is not being used for its intended purpose, following investigation, we reserve the right to cancel the permit without a refund.
