Car parking charges in the East Riding are to rise by 10 pence an hour from the end of March.
The increase from 8am on Thursday, March 28, means that to park all day on a council-run on-street and off-street car parking will cost £5.40.
Residents and special group permits, which have been kept at the same level for 10 years, will be increased between £1 and £5 per annum and scratch cards for visitors/hotel guests will be raised by £5 per book.
Annual standard permits will increase to £50, which will be introduced over two years at £25 per year, and coach parking will also increase between 50 pence and £1 per hour.
Leader of East Riding Council, Stephen Parnaby said: "As part of the budget setting process, all of the council's business operations were reviewed and, to ensure a balanced budget was set, it was decided that car parking charges should be increased.
"Car parking charges are never popular, but serve an important purpose in providing safe and sensible parking for motorists and allow for a regular turnover of spaces to support local commerce.
"Contrary to popular myth, car parking charges are not a means for councils to 'make money', as all of what the council receives goes back into the area's transport infrastructure.
"The robust financial planning by this council has meant that charges in the East Riding have not changed since August 2010 and, even with the proposed increases, will now not need to change again until at least 2016.
"Even with the increases, charges in the East Riding compare favourably to those of neighbouring authorities in the Yorkshire and Humber region."
