Challenge a parking ticket

Did you get a parking ticket (naheffingsaanslag)? And do you disagree with it? Then you can make a formal challenge at the municipality.

How does it work?

Would you like to challenge a parking fine? Submit your challenge within 6 weeks after the date (dagtekening) stated on the parking ticket. Are you making a challenge later? Explain why you were not able to make a challenge earlier.

    Challenge the ticket

    You can make a challenge online or by post. First check what you need in your challenge.

    Needed to challenge the ticket

    • The number of the parking ticket (assessment number).
    • The number plate of your car.
    • The registration number of your parking permit.

    • Supporting evidence. You always need these for a challenge. Examples are:

      • A digital overview of the parking history for the parking permit.
      • A scan or digital photo of your parking permit.
      • A scan or digital photo of your proof of payment. Or a copy of your bank statement.

    • The reason(s) for making the challenge.
    • The signature of the person making the challenge.
    • Supporting evidence (see Needed in your challenge).
