Parking Fines

We are responsible for parking enforcement in Council owned car parks. The tariff boards at each of our car parks indicate the level of charge payable and the regulations governing each car park. Any infringement may result in an excess penalty of £100 being issued. These penalties must be paid within 28 days of issue. If payment is received within 14 days, a reduced amount of £50 will be accepted.

Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for parking enforcement in other parts of the city including on-street parking and controlled parking zones in residential areas.
