Fine (citation) for illegal parking
If you park your vehicle in a spot where it is not allowed, you will receive a fine. Often your car will also be towed away.
The fine for parking a vehicle in the wrong spot is € 120. For parking illegally in a disabled parking space the fine is € 500. The official name of the ticket in Dutch is ‘aankondiging of kennisgeving van beschikking’ (announcement or notification of decision) and it is sometimes also called a ‘proces verbaal’ (report).
Notification
The ticket will no longer be printed. You will still get a general notification of the parking violation on your car.
Payment
You can pay the parking fine via iDEAL or online banking. You will receive the fine from the Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB) in Leeuwarden within a few weeks. You cannot pay this fine at the counter of the towing company.
Appeal the fine
Do you disagree with the ticket (citation)? Then you can appeal the fine at the Ministry of Justice and Security. It is not possible to appeal the fine at the municipality. You can file an appeal once you have received the decision from the Central Judicial Collection Agency. The decision explains the appeals procedure in the accompanying letter.
