Exemption, parking, issuance, charitable institution and social service

If you run a business or work as a freelancer, you can apply for a parking permit under certain conditions. This allows you to park in certain areas for the duration of your work assignment.

As a trader or freelancer, you can obtain an exemption for parking in individual cases. As a result, you can, for example, be entitled to free parking in restricted no-parking zones, in resident parking zones or in parking management zones (parking spaces with parking meters or parking ticket machines). As a rule, the exemption only applies to individual activities of your business or freelance work.

You are not entitled to be granted an exemption.
