Procedure

MA 65 is legally required to verify all information thoroughly. In a parallel process, the mode of payment for the parking fee is decided (individual parking vouchers or flat-rate fee).

Documents required

Fees

You have to pay several fees for the parking permit:

  • Federal fee:
    • EUR 14.30 for the application
  • Administrative fee:
  • Parking fee:
    You have to pay the parking fee for each month for which you apply for a parking permit. You have to pay at least 4 months. You can pay for a maximum of 2 years. Calendar months that are only used partially are counted as full months.

Parking fees:

  • EUR 120 for 1 year and EUR 240 for 2 years for the first vehicle
  • EUR 249 for 1 year and EUR 498 for 2 years for each additional vehicle
  • EUR 249 for 1 year and EUR 498 for 2 years from the authorisation of 2 districts

Tip:
You can submit your application and all attachments with the online form and ID Austria (a further development of the mobile phone signature). In this case, you pay lower fees:

Please note:
The parking fee amount listed only applies to the following parking permits:

For all other parking permits, you have to pay the parking fee by using daily or weekly flat-rate cards or some other payment form.

Daily or weekly flat-rate cards can only be used in conjunction with a granted exemption permit for businesses with manual service activities or accommodation and motor vehicle businesses (for customers' vehicles).

You can get daily or weekly flat-rate cards at a price of EUR 4.10 or EUR 20.50 at the cash offices of Municipal Department 6.

Example: If a business is granted an exemption for the 2nd district after filing an online application, the parking permit for the first business vehicle is EUR 285 for a maximum duration of two years (EUR 240 parking fee, EUR 14.30 application fee and EUR 30.70 administrative fee).

Should your need for the exemption permit end before the end of the time for which it was granted, you will be refunded the parking fees paid for unused full months.

You can pay the fees by bank transfer (see "Zahlungsinformation" (payment information) in the decision).

Alternatively, you can pay the fees in cash or by bank card at the Municipal District Office for the 3rd district (Karl-Borromäus-Platz 3).

The parking permit is only activated after receipt of payment (duration 2 to 4 working days).

For any questions regarding payment, please contact the competent accounting department (Buchhaltungsabteilung 40) (German) of Municipal Department 6 - Accounting Services, Duties and Charges.

Processing time

The duration of the process depends predominantly on whether you have submitted all required documents in full and on time.

Form

Online application (German)

If you submit your application using the online form, the data will be sent via a secure internet connection. Third parties cannot see your data. If you represent someone else, please use the online form without ID Austria.

Electronic delivery

You will be sent the official notification electronically. If you are not registered with an electronic delivery service (German), you will receive the notification by post.

Information on electronic delivery of official documents (German)

Further information

You must notify the department of any changes (e.g. if the vehicle registration number or the address of your business premises changes). Failure to notify the department of changes will invalidate the exemption permit.

The exemption permit may only be used for the purposes stated in the application. If you no longer meet the requirements for the exemption, if you do not follow the stipulations of the decision or if you use the exemption for a purpose other than the one it was granted for, your exemption permit will be rescinded and the parking permit will be deactivated.

In shopping streets (German) located in area-wide short-term parking zones you may park for 1.5 hours with a properly set parking disc behind the windshield (exception: service card holders).

Existing exemption permits for businesses with trade-related off-site customer service that were granted for all districts with restricted parking zones will be extended to any new restricted parking zones for the duration of their validity.

More information:

Please note: You can help reduce the workload of the authorities considerably if you send your documents by e-mail and state the case number ("Geschäftszahl" or "GZ").

As a voluntary service, the Vienna City Administration notifies holders of exemption permits about 3 months before their expiry by sending an information letter with payment information. If you still meet the requirements, you can apply for a new exemption by paying the fee indicated in the letter. However, this is only possible if your circumstances have remained the same.
