HDB season parking in Singapore, Application, Renewal & Transfer Guide (2026)

What is HDB season parking?

The HDB season parking system provides residents with access to a long-term HDB parking lot. Generally, booking for HDB season parking is every month, starting from the first day of every month. They can be renewed electronically.

Priority for high-occupancy HDB carpark

Before we go into the HDB season parking rate and application process, note that while there are car parks with low occupancy, many more car parks have high occupancy rates. These car parks are in high demand, so not everyone can book a season parking space.

Moreover, as HDB car parks are primarily for HDB residents, booking car parks with high occupancy rates will be prioritised accordingly.

1st priority group

This is for the first vehicles owned by any one of the following persons:

• HDB flat owners, tenants, authorised occupiers and approved tenants of whole flats
• Registered tenants of HDB commercial and industrial premises
• Market and hawker stallholders
• Employees of HDB shop/ offices
• The first company-registered vehicle of HDB flat owners, tenants and authorised occupiers.

Booking and renewal date: 1st of the month onwards

HDB season parking is based on a first-come, first-served basis. So, competition can be fierce for particularly high-occupancy car parks. Be sure to apply or renew when they open it up for booking!

2nd priority group

This is for the second and subsequent vehicles owned by HDB flat owners, tenants, authorised occupiers and registered shop tenants.

Booking and renewal date: 18th of the month onwards

3rd priority group

Residents who don’t own the vehicle for which they’re applying for season parking, as well as tenants of HDB room rentals and non-residents, fall under this category.

Booking and renewal date: 21st of the month onwards

What are the rates for HDB season parking?

Normal HDB parking rates differ greatly from their season parking rates. Before we delve deep into the rates, there are a few terms to note.

• Tier 1 season parking rate: For residents who are registered flat owners, occupiers or tenants living in the HDB precinct served by the car park. This rate will apply to the resident’s first car.
• Tier 2 season parking rate: For residents’ subsequent cars and all cars of non-residents.
• Sheltered car parks: Multi-storey car parks, landscape-deck car parks, semi-basement car parks, basement car parks and sheltered car parks.
• Special precincts: Grouping of surface and sheltered car parks.
• Commercial vehicles: Vehicles used for commercial businesses (such as vans, lorries, and other light goods vehicles) that exceed 1,800 kg in unladen weight. For such vehicles parking in a sheltered car park, their maximum unladen/ laden weight must not exceed 2,000 kg. These vehicles must also be able to fit in the parking lot.

How to apply for HDB season parking?

Now that you know what HDB season parking is, who can apply and how much it costs, you can start the application process!

Go to the Application for New Season Parking e-Service. Once logged in with your SingPass, fill in all the necessary details.

Alternatively, apply for HDB season parking through Mobile@HDB, which can be downloaded via the iOS App Store or Google Play Store.

You can pay with a credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or direct debit (only DBS, UOB, OCBC and Standard Chartered Bank).

If you’re applying for season parking at a high-occupancy car park, you may also need to submit the following items for verification:

Item to submit	Applicable to:
Business Registration Certificate	Applicants who are registered shop tenants of HDB commercial or industrial locations.
Letter from company	Applicants who drive company-registered vehicles home, or drive a company car home and are an employee of a car rental company.

How to renew HDB season parking?

There are several methods to renew HDB season parking:

• Renewal of Season Parking e-Service 
• Mobile@HDB app
• AXS machines
• GIRO
• Recurring credit card payment

If you don’t want the hassle of renewing your season parking monthly, you can opt for automatic renewal via GIRO or recurring credit card payment. You can earn a 2% rebate for each successful transaction if you opt for GIRO.

Read more about it on HDB’s website.

Remember, if you’re applying for season parking in a high-occupancy car park, renew it as early as possible to secure a spot for yourself.

You’ll incur short-term parking charges if you don’t renew your HDB season parking on time. You also won’t be able to park at car park lots reserved for season parking.

 

Temporary transfer of HDB season parking

If you need to transfer your season parking temporarily, you can apply via the Temporary Transfer of Season Parking (TTSP) e-Service or the Mobile@HDB app.

Acceptable reasons for the transfer include:

• Your vehicle broke down, and you’re driving a replacement vehicle.
• You need to park at another car park temporarily, for example, due to renovations at your house.

Do note that you may need to submit documents to prove that you need the temporary transfer. These can include proof of vehicle breakdowns and flat renovations.

In addition, keep in mind that the maximum period you can do this temporary transfer is 31 days, and there is no renewal of temporary season parking.

You’ll also need to bear additional costs if the type of car park you’re transferring to differs from the one you’re originally using. No refunds will be given if you’re transferring to a car park with a lower rate or don’t use the full temporary transfer period.

Permanent transfer of HDB season parking

You can also do so via the Permanent Transfer of Season Parking e-Service or the mobile app if you change your vehicle or car park. Approval will be subject to the availability of parking lots.

You may need to pay extra or get refunded, depending on the type of vehicle or car park change. For instance, if you’re changing from a motorcycle (S$15) to a car (S$80), you’ll need to pay the difference of S$65 for a parking space in a surface car park.

 

How to cancel HDB season parking?

Don’t you need the HDB season parking anymore? You can cancel it via the Termination of Season Parking service or the Mobile@HDB app. HDB will then refund you the unused parking charges until the expiry date.

However, as season parking is for long-term parking, you can only cancel it after using it for at least one calendar month. So, for your first-season parking purchase, you can either pay the full rate for the current month or pay on a pro-rated basis for the month and the whole month.

Let’s say you’ve bought HDB season parking from 5 May (on a pro-rated basis) to July. You won’t be able to cancel it between 5 May and 30 June. But you can cancel it on 30 June and get a refund for July’s season parking.

Understanding HDB Season Parking eligibility and priority

Navigating securing HDB season parking in Singapore requires understanding the eligibility criteria and priority system. Residents who own their first vehicle, including flat owners, tenants, and authorised occupiers, are given top priority to ensure that those who live in HDB estates have access to parking near their homes.

The prioritisation extends to the first company-registered vehicle of HDB flat owners, making it easier for residents to manage their daily commutes. For those with second or subsequent vehicles or non-residents, the booking window opens later in the month, reflecting the lower priority assigned to these applications. Understanding these priority levels is crucial for planning and securing a parking spot, especially in high-demand areas.

Leveraging digital tools for efficient Season Parking management

Advancements in digital services have made managing HDB season parking more convenient. The HDB e-Service and Mobile@HDB app enable residents to apply, renew, and transfer their season parking seamlessly. These platforms provide real-time updates and notifications, ensuring timely renewals.

Additionally, setting up automatic renewals via GIRO or recurring credit card payments simplifies the process, offering a hassle-free parking management experience. Leveraging these digital tools can save time, avoid last-minute renewals, and make maintaining compliance easier and securing preferred parking spots easier. Embracing these technologies enhances convenience and contributes to a more organised and efficient approach to managing HDB season parking.
