These terms and conditions must be read and agreed to by the Permit owner or holder. The council reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time.
Validity of permits
1. Resident permits are only valid while being used by a person residing at the property for which the application is made and where the vehicle is registered or kept at that same property.
2. A maximum of 2 resident permits are allowed per household at any one time. If both paper permits and digital e-permits are obtained then only the first two permits issued will be valid.
3. Permits are non-transferable (for example from one person to another or if you move address). You must cancel your permit via your MiPermit Cardiff account should you move property, otherwise it may be cancelled by the Council without notice and you will not be entitled to a refund.
4. The vehicle registration mark of any nominated vehicle must be entered fully and correctly. Any errors will invalidate the permit.
5. Permits are only valid between the dates and the times as detailed on the permit. Renewal reminders may be sent as a courtesy but are not a legal requirement. You remain fully responsible for permit renewal. If a vehicle does not have a permit then an alternative and lawful parking place must be found.
6. Permits are not valid while a vehicle has 3 or more outstanding or unpaid Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) within Cardiff. We define an outstanding PCN as a PCN that has progressed beyond the point where representations can be made.
7. Permits remain the digital property of the Council, and the Council may cancel a permit at any time and for any reason where the Council determines that it is reasonably necessary to do so, notification will be given to the permit holder.
Use of permits
8. Red permits are only valid for parking within resident permit holders’ only or resident permit holders’ shared use parking places on the street or streets named on the permit. Regulatory signs in the area will indicate where you can and cannot park, and must be complied with at all times.
9. Permits never guarantee a parking space.
10. You must comply with any direction given by a Police Officer, PCSO or Civil Enforcement Officer (such as an instruction to move your vehicle), even if your vehicle has a valid permit.
11. The Council may suspend the use of any parking place where necessary. Suspended parking will be indicated by yellow suspension signs in the area and a permit is not valid in a parking place where parking has been suspended.
Refunds
12. Refunds will be provided for any full months remaining on permits that are no longer required. An administration fee of £5.00 will be charged for all such refunds.
Enforcement of permits
13. Permits cannot be resold, exchanged or provided to anyone for personal or financial gain or reward.
14. You must ensure these terms and conditions are complied with otherwise a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN - parking fine) may be incurred.
15. Misuse or fraudulent use of permits may also result in the suspension or cancellation of the permit owner’s account, the cancellation of any permits associated with that account and the denial of applications for new permits.
Visitor permits
1. Visitor permits are issued to allow you to register vehicles being used by visitors to your property for a visitor parking stay or session.
2. Visitor permits are not issued for vehicles owned or being used by residents, to enable commuter parking or for any period that the driver of the vehicle is not personally attending your home.
3. Your visitor sessions will allow your visitors to park within resident permit holders’ only or resident permit holders’ shared use parking places on the street (or streets) named on the permit. Regulatory signs in the area will indicate where your visitor can and cannot park, and must be complied with at all times.
4. Visitor sessions do not apply in pay and display bays or stay bays, even if resident permit holders are normally allowed to park there.
5. A parking space is never guaranteed.
6. When registering a visitor’s vehicle for a parking session their vehicle registration mark must be entered fully and correctly. Any errors will invalidate the permit session.
7. Visitor sessions are non-refundable.
8. Permits or sessions cannot be resold, exchanged or provided to anyone for personal or financial gain or reward.
9. These terms and conditions must be complied with otherwise a Penalty Charge Notice (parking fine) may be incurred. It is your responsibility to ensure that your visitors are fully aware of their responsibilities and these terms and conditions.
10. Misuse or fraudulent use of visitor permits will result in enforcement action being taken against the permit owner. This may include, but not limited to, the suspension or cancellation of the permit owner’s account, the cancellation of any permits associated with that account, the denial of applications for new permits or criminal prosecution.
