                                    Have you received a parking fine?

Get an overview of the rules for parking fines in Køge Municipality, how to pay, and what to do if you want to appeal. You can also read tips to help you avoid receiving a fine.

### Parking fine

You will receive a parking fine if you violate the rules set out in the Road Traffic Act or Køge Municipality’s parking regulations. The fine will state which rule you have violated.
It is always your own responsibility to know and follow the rules.

### Payment of the fine

- **Payment deadline.** You must pay the fine no later than 10 days after receiving it.
- **Payment options.** You can pay using the payment slip attached to the fine or by bank transfer.
- **Payment via bank.** If you have lost the payment slip, you can pay via bank transfer – remember to include the vehicle’s registration number:
Jyske Bank, Registration no.: 5035 and Account no.: 4690005.
- **Payment from abroad.** When paying from abroad, include the vehicle’s registration number and the following details:
IBAN: DK61 5035 0004 6900 05 - SWIFT: JYBADKKK
- **Reminder fees.** If you do not pay on time, you will receive a reminder with a fee of DKK 250. If you still do not pay, you will receive another reminder with an additional fee of DKK 250.
If the fine is still not paid, it will be forwarded to the Danish Debt Collection Agency, which can recover the amount.
- **No discounts.** There are no discounts for pensioners or students.

### Instalment plan

If you have difficulty paying the full amount at once, you can contact Køge Kommune, the Collection Department - email opk@koege.dk - and arrange an instalment plan with 2–3 payments.

### View or appeal the fine

You can view or appeal your parking fine through our self-service solution.

You will need the vehicle’s registration number and the parking fine number.

The appeal must be submitted digitally – complaints made by phone will not be processed.

Acting in good faith does not necessarily mean that the fine will be cancelled.

[Appeal a parking fine](https://pafgift.koege.dk/samlfe/koege.aspx?id=pafgift_koege "Appeal a parking fine")

### Decision on your appeal

Køge Municipality will process your appeal, and the decision cannot be appealed to any other authority.

If you still disagree, the case can be brought before the bailiff’s court via the Danish Debt Collection Agency.

You must pay the costs yourself unless your appeal is fully upheld.

### Avoid parking fines

Most fines are caused by small mistakes. Therefore, remember:

- **Parking on the sidewalk is prohibited.** Do not park on the sidewalk. It is prohibited throughout Køge Kommune. This means no part of the vehicle may be on the sidewalk, the vehicle is parked or temporarily stopped.
- **Parking disc.** Your vehicle must display a parking disc – and only one.
- **Incorrectly set parking disc.** Set the parking disc correctly. A malfunctioning parking disc is not a valid reason for cancelling a parking fine.
- **Stopping and parking.** Observe signs for parking and stopping.
- **Time-limited parking.** When parking is time-limited, you must leave the zone once the time has expired. It is not enough to reset the parking disc or move the car to another space within the same zone.
In the red zone, you may park for free for up to 2 hours.
Read more under: Parking zones.
- **Missing parking registration/payment.** You will receive a parking fine if you do not register your parking or if your paid time has expired.
In the yellow and green zones, you must register your parking upon arrival, even though the first 2 hours are free of charge.

### Motorhomes

On Cementvej, there are 3 special parking spaces for motorhomes. You can park there for up to 24 hours.

- **Attached to a car.** You can park in all parking spaces if the trailer is attached to a car, even after 6:00 PM. General parking rules apply.
- **In the city area, without a car.** Inside city limit signs (outside the parking zones), you can park the trailer alone on the road from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday. You are not allowed to park it alone on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays.

                                    Disabled parking

With a disabled parking permit, you can park free of charge in most public parking spaces marked with blue signs. Here you will find an overview of the rules, your options, and what to be aware of when parking.

### Parking with a disabled parking permit

If you have a valid disabled parking permit, you can park free of charge in public parking spaces – except in the parking garage on Søndre Molevej.

**Remember**

- The disabled parking permit must always be clearly visible in the windscreen.
- The entire front of the permit, including the number and dates, must be visible from outside.
- If disabled parking spaces are occupied, you may use regular spaces under the same conditions.

### Special rules

Pay attention to signage – it determines how long you may stay:

- **Loading and unloading.** You may park for 15 minutes in areas where only loading and unloading is permitted.
- **Short-stop errands permitted.** You may park for 15 minutes in pedestrian streets marked “short-stop errands permitted” or in areas with “no parking” signs.
- **No stopping.** No stopping zones must always be respected.
- **15–30 minute parking.** Parking is allowed for up to 1 hour in places where parking is otherwise limited to 15 or 30 minutes.
- **1, 2 or 3 hours parking.** Unlimited parking is allowed in areas where 1, 2 or 3-hour parking is permitted, unless a time limit is specifically indicated on a sign with a disabled symbol. If a time limit is stated, it must be followed, and the parking disc must be set.
- **Red, yellow and green zones without time limits.** You may park free of charge and without time limits in red, yellow and green zones, in all non-disabled parking spaces.
- **Parking garage Søndre Molevej.** You must pay to park in the parking garage – even if you have a disabled parking permit.
