Calculate administrative fees, sign costs and total costs.

A no-parking zone in Frankfurt am Main costs the administrative fee charged by the Straßenverkehrsamt plus sign hire. The fee for up to one week is 45 EUR.

Administrative fees

The Straßenverkehrsamt Frankfurt am Main charges a fixed fee for the traffic regulation order. If the no-parking zone is postponed or extended, an additional 50% of the original fee is charged.

Fees:

• Up to 1 W week: 45 EUR
• Postponement or extension: +50% of the original fee (22,50 EUR)

Important: The Straßenverkehrsamt only issues the traffic regulation order. You must arrange and pay for the traffic signs separately from a sign hire company.

Sign costs

You must hire the no-parking signs from a roadworks safety company. Costs vary depending on the provider and hire period.

Typical sign costs:

• Sign hire: from 30 EUR per day
• Installation by specialist company: 20-40 EUR per sign
• Package prices: vary by provider

For a standard no-parking zone you usually need 2 to 4 signs. The number depends on the length of the zone.

Tip: Specialist companies with an annual permit often offer complete packages that include the permit, signs and installation.

Total costs

The total costs are made up of the administrative fee, sign hire and, if applicable, an installation service.

Typical total costs for a move:

• Own application + sign hire: approx. 100 to 150 EUR
• Specialist company with complete package: approx. 150 to 250 EUR
