Parking charges at Cowbridge Town Hall car park are set to be enforced from 1 September, the Vale of Glamorgan Council has announced.
Drivers will be able to park for up to two hours free of charge, then have to pay £2 for up to four hours or £6 for all day parking.
Disabled motorists and motorcycles will not be charged.
Residents of selected streets are being encouraged to apply for free parking permits; the Council has written to those living in affected areas, to explain how permits can be obtained and why resident only parking zones are being implemented.
They will be able to apply for one permit per car registered to their address and one additional visitor pass per household.
As detailed in the letter, permits are available by visiting the Council website or calling 01446 700111 and the zones are designed to protect residents from possible displacement parking.
They will help ensure visitors do not leave their cars on selected streets in Cowbridge when parking charges are introduced at the Town Hall Car park from September, the Vale Council says.
Enforcement of the residential parking zones will begin later this month.
Cllr Peter King, Vale of Glamorgan Council Cabinet member for Neighbourhood services and Transport, said: "These measures will help protect local residents from displacement parking in streets close to the Town Hall Car Park in Cowbridge.
"The charges are designed to better manage car parking in Cowbridge town centre.
"They should lead to an increased turnover of spaces, boosting local businesses.
"There continues to be free parking available in both these locations on and off-street.
"Residents are encouraged to apply for a permit for every vehicle registered to an address ahead of the introduction of these parking controls. They are free and each property is also entitled to one visitor permit."
