New parking permit fees in Potsdam: What you need to know!

Potsdam is facing changes to resident parking permit fees that will come into effect on September 1, 2025. The new regulation brings an increase in the annual fee to 145 euros, while a two-year ID card is available for 275 euros. This fee adjustment aims to fully cover the administrative costs, control and space provision for resident parking, as Tagesspiegel reports.

Another point that will interest residents is the cost of issuing a replacement if the license plate is changed or the ID card is lost, which is 25 euros. The city council had already decided on the new fee schedule on July 2, 2025, and publication in the official gazette was scheduled for today, August 26, 2025.

Details on the application process

The application process for a resident parking permit remains unchanged. Interested citizens can submit their application conveniently online at egov.potsdam.de/apa or you can use the option to do this by email, post or directly at an appointment at the citizen service center. To avoid long waiting times, we recommend booking an appointment in advance.
