The cost of resident parking permits in Dresden exceeds the 100 euro mark!
From July 1, 2025, it will be more expensive for residents in Dresden to park in their own city area. According to the city administration, a new fee regulation for resident parking permits will come into force, which will significantly increase the costs. This was decided by the city council on March 31, 2025, and the new fee schedule was published in the electronic gazette on April 8, 2025, as dresden.de reported.
The new fees are as follows: A resident parking permit with a validity of six months now costs 49.50 euros (previously 20 euros). In the future, 75 euros will be due for one year (previously 30 euros), and with a validity of two years the price will increase to 135 euros (previously 50 euros). The new costs affect all applications received after the deadline.
A look at the fee situation

The reasons for this are the limited parking space and the increased administrative burden. Loud adac.de The cost of parking in residential areas can rise by up to one euro per day. In other cities, such as Bonn, the fees are sometimes up to 360 euros per year.
