Drivers are set to pay more for parking across several sites in Perth and Kinross from April.
Perth and Kinross Council revealed in its proposed 2025-26 budget that some charges are set to rise.
The fees will help generate hundreds of thousands of pounds of extra income for the local authority.
Several other costs for residents – such as garden waste permits – are also set to rise.
The details have been set out in budget papers going before councillors on Wednesday.
It comes as the local authority is set to increase council tax by 10%.
