Parking Permit

A parking permit is intended for residents who live in an area with paid parking and do not have their own parking space. With this permit, you may park in the designated zone near your home. Most municipalities limit the number of permits per address, typically to one or two.

The parking permit is issued by the municipality and is usually valid for one calendar year. Costs vary by municipality and may differ between the first and second permit at the same address. You can apply through your municipality's website or at the municipal service desk. Some municipalities also offer visitor permits and business parking permits under separate schemes.
