BYU issues tickets according to alphabet tags and allots them to park lots identified by their numbered tag. See the table below:

| B | The tag is valid for residents of Heritage hall. |
| C | The tag is meant for residents of Helaman hall. |
| G A | The owner of the tag is a high-ranking church official within the campus |
| O | The owner is either a school official or an official for the church of the Latter-Day Saints (LDS). |
| PC | The bearer is a member of the BYU council of presidents |
| U | They give access to BYU’s free parking lot |

How to get a permit
BYU issues all permits from its website. The only exception is one-time visitors who may use metered lots or pay at the attendant booth at the lot. The process to apply for a permit involves:
- Logging in to the parking registration link
- Filling out the necessary details which typically includes your vehicle registration, student profile details, and the class of ticket that you wish to purchase.
- Choosing a date for the collection of your tag.
Permits are normally free for motorcyclists, people only seeking to use the U lot, those who commute using bicycles, and non-student employees. Other students are required to pay an annual of $60. Vendors operating within the premises also pay $10 as an annual fee.
