New fee schedule in Frankfurt (Oder): additional costs for debtors!
The Frankfurt (Oder) city treasury has announced a significant increase in fees in connection with the Administrative Enforcement Act for Brandenburg. These new regulations have been in force since September 16, 2025 and are aimed at improving the efficiency and finances of law enforcement authorities. Loud Frankfurt-Oder.de A basic fee for the collection of monetary claims of at least 50 euros will now have to be paid, previously it was 31 euros. For larger claims, this fee can even rise to 140 euros, compared to a maximum of 100 euros previously.
In this context, the new seizure fee cannot be ignored. This will now be at least 22 euros for movable property, claims and property rights, where previously only 10.50 euros were due. In contrast, there is now a maximum amount of 160 euros, whereas previously no such amount was claimed. The city treasury encourages its citizens to pay on time to avoid additional fees.
Renewals and other fees
In addition, a new travel allowance was introduced for law enforcement authorities' business trips. The minimum is 6 euros and the maximum is 30 euros, depending on the distance traveled. This is a change that could increase pressure on debtors to settle outstanding debts promptly.
