The proposals, which are set to go out to a consultation, would see HMO permits costing £202.50 scrapped and the properties brought into the standard residential parking system (ResPark).
Labour’s Cllr Rachel Melly, of Guildhall ward, said the current system penalised the young and people on low incomes while designated HMO bays stopped them parking near their homes.
But a City of York Council report stated 23 of the 113 current HMO permit holders would pay £37.50 more for permits, five would pay £297.50 more and two would lose them.
The proposals mean that extra charges for additional permits would apply to HMO tenants in the same way as they do in the ResPark system.
A household’s first ResPark permit costs £109.95-a-year, with a second costing £240 and a third £500.
