Around 4,700 people will face a £15 charge for a parking permit.
Kirklees Cabinet this afternoon agreed to issue one free parking permit for around 9,000 households in the borough who live in permit zones.
But anyone wanting a second permit - predicted to be 4,700 people - will have to pay £15 for it.
A replacement for a lost or inaccurate permit, however, will cost £20 to administer.
Clr David Sheard, council leader, said: “I’ve had communication from two or three people on this issue and people have said they don’t mind paying but would like more enforcement, so it’s something we’d look at.
“It’s something I can sympathise with, not because of the proposed fee which they don’t mind but because it’s not being enforced.”
Fees will be introduced from next April.
The move comes after stalled attempts by Kirklees Council to introduce a fee for parking permits.
One idea to charge £30 was dropped after cross-party budget talks earlier this year.
Currently there are 160 residents’ parking schemes with 4,350 resident permits, 4,325 visitor permits, and 1,600 special permits in circulation.
For residents, the new specific permits will detail the vehicle permitted to park, and it can be used until the vehicle is sold or the permit-holder moves.
If a household wants two permits, a £15 fee will be charged for the second permit.
Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes will not be issued with a permit and if a driver buys a new vehicle, a new permit will be needed costing £15.
For visitors, the new open permit is free, but additional permits are £15 and limited to 12 months.
The service was asked to work towards a budget of £160,000 less, and the £30 would have brought in £158,000.
The revised options will bring in an estimated £60,000 in 2015/16 and £10,500 in 2016/17, and will save Kirklees £26,000 in admin costs.
