Parking on council property
We operate a resident parking permit scheme in some council-owned parking areas.
You must have a valid permit to park in these areas. If you do not, you may receive a Parking Charge Notice.
See Apply for a resident parking permit for a list of permit areas and how to apply.
Parking in your garden
You must get our written permission before parking a vehicle, trailer, caravan or boat in your council home garden.
You can only park in your garden if there is:
- a suitable hard surface (hardstanding or driveway)
- a dropped kerb (a lowered section of pavement that lets you drive a vehicle safely from the road onto your property)
If we give permission, you must:
- apply for permission to install a hardstanding or driveway (if you do not already have one)
- apply for a dropped kerb through Oxfordshire County Council
- use approved contractors
- oversee and pay for all the work
