A resident parking permit allows you to park in your residential area's designated parking spaces for a monthly fee. Designated parking areas are marked with an additional panel placed below the parking sign. Resident parking permits are only used in the inner city.
You can get a resident parking permit if
- you live in a resident parking zone
- you have a valid driving licence
- you are the owner or holder of the vehicle for which you are applying for a permit
- your vehicle belongs to the same category as your driving licence
- your vehicle is commissioned.
We will check this information in the Finnish Population Information System of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency and the Transport Register of the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom. Please make sure that your information is up to date and your permit is valid.
You can buy a permit for a car, van, motorcycle, motorised quadricycle or another vehicle with a maximum mass of four tonnes.
If the vehicle is decommissioned, the permit is no longer valid.
Depending on the zone, the permit costs between €45 and €64.50 per month. Fully electric vehicles get a discount on the fee. You can buy permits for two vehicles. The price for a second vehicle permit is one and a half times the regular price of a permit.
