Residents’ Parking ZonesLes Zônes d’la Parqu’thie ès Résidents
The Residents’ Parking Zones (RPZs) were designed to provide preferential parking for residents in their neighbourhoods that the zones encompass. Only a limited number of permits are issued in order to balance the requirements of permit spaces for residents with pay-card spaces for visitors.
Types of permits
- Resident Permits – for those living within a RPZ, with a Jersey registered vehicle and no off-street parking on their premises. Please note that residents may only hold one permit at a time.
- Business Permits – for business owners that operate from an address within a RPZ and have a Jersey registered vehicle, which is used in Jersey exclusively for the purposes of the business.
- Temporary Permits – available for contractors employed to carry out work within a RPZ. These permits are available for a duration of up to 2 weeks and should be applied for prior to work commencing.
How do I apply for a RPZ permit?
To apply for any of the above types of permits, please complete the Application for RPZ Permit Form which you can download or collect from the Town Hall. You will need to provide proof of residence, such as a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last month, and you may need to produce your vehicle registration document once a permit becomes available.
Please note that waiting lists for each zone vary, and it is impossible to advise exactly how long the wait for a permit will be. As soon as one becomes available, our Customer Services Team will be in contact with you.
