Vienna currently has 402,877 residents with a parking permit (Parkpickerl). Four years after the city introduced the citywide short-term parking zone, a major wave of renewals is coming at the end of February. A total of 80,429 permits will expire, although 32,422 have already been renewed. The districts most affected are Hietzing, Floridsdorf, Donaustadt, and Liesing. This means that more than 48,000 permits still have no renewal application submitted.
District offices are urging residents to apply for a new permit in time to avoid potential fines. Experience shows that many people wait until the last minute to make their payment, risking delays that could leave them temporarily without a valid permit. Applications can be submitted in person at the district office responsible for one’s primary residence or online—with or without ID Austria—for a minimum of four months and a maximum of two years.
How to check if your permit is valid Be aware that online applications may take up to a week to process, depending on the bank, before payment is received and the official confirmation can be issued. You can check the validity of your permit at any time by searching “Parkpickerl Gültigkeit überprüfen” on Google or by visiting the “Amtswege Stadt Wien Parkpickerl Gültigkeit” page.
