How does an e-permit work?
The City’s Rangers use licence plate recognition software to identify vehicles with valid e-permits.
Residents can enter and change as many registrations as needed and give each a unique name. Once registration/s are saved in the online account it's live instantly.
There is no expiry on e-permits.

There are nine parking zones and your permit is only valid within that particular zone.
Parking Zone 1
Parking Zone 2
Parking Zone 3
Parking Zone 4
Parking Zone 5
Parking Zone 6
Parking Zone 7
Parking Zone 8
Parking Zone 9

Why am I not eligible for a parking permit?
Not all dwellings are eligible for parking permits.
The City provides parking permits to help residents and businesses access on-street parking where restrictions apply. However, permits don’t guarantee a parking space, and eligibility depends on the type of dwelling and the development’s approval conditions.
Key information for buyers and residents
- Single houses (on their own green title or survey strata without common property) may be eligible for up to three residential parking permits.
- Grouped dwellings (such as villas or townhouses sharing common property) may be eligible for up to two residential parking permits.
- Multiple dwellings (such as apartments or units in multi-storey buildings) may be eligible for up to one residential parking permit.
- If you are purchasing an apartment, townhouse or unit, you may not be eligible for a parking permit, even if on-street parking is available nearby.
Before purchasing property, we recommend you check the property’s development approval or contact the City before purchasing to confirm your eligibility.
Developments not eligible
Some properties are not eligible to receive parking permits, regardless of dwelling type.
This includes:
- Newer apartment and mixed-use developments that include on-site parking as part of their design — in most cases, these developments are not eligible for on-street parking permits.
- Short term rental accommodation may not be eligible for parking permits.
- Grouped or multiple dwellings that have a Development Approval condition or advice note stating the property is not eligible for parking permits.
- Developments approved after 1 July 1994 by the City of Perth and before 30 June 2007, or by the:
- East Perth Redevelopment Authority (EPRA)
- Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA)
- DevelopmentWA
These developments cannot receive parking permits, except for certain properties on Parry Street, Perth, that were approved before 21 October 2009.

What are the conditions of the e-permits?
An e-permit exempts vehicles from complying with parking time restrictions, one hour or more, in the relevant zone it is issued to.
An e-permit does not authorise parking that is in contravention of the local law in the following areas: disabled (ACROD) bays, no stopping zones, no parking zones, clearways, 30 minutes or less time restricted zones, carparks, loading zones, ticket machine zones, bus or taxi stands, footpaths, driveways or verges. E-permits are not valid for vehicles that are not registered, disused, oversized, or causing an obstruction.
An e-permit does not exempt the driver from the provisions of the Road Traffic Code or offences under the City’s Parking Local Laws, including but not limited to limitations for an offence.
