Am I allowed to park here in Norway?
You may park where the signs allow it, but breaches bring one of two nationally fixed sanctions — and each has its own appeal route. On regulated lots (private and municipal pay lots) a control charge applies in three rates: 330 kr for a documentation breach, such as a wrongly set parking disc, 660 kr for no ticket or wrong placement, and 990 kr for parking on a disabled space without a valid permit. For breaches of the traffic rules outside regulated lots, the municipality issues a fixed parking fee of 900 kr, rising by 50% to 1,350 kr if it is not paid. The appeal and payment deadline is three weeks.

⚠️ Penalties & fines
On regulated lots the control charge is 330 kr for a documentation breach, 660 kr for no ticket or wrong placement, and 990 kr for a disabled space without a valid permit. Outside regulated lots — that is, for breaches of the traffic rules — the municipality issues a fixed parking fee of 900 kr, which rises by 50% to 1,350 kr if you do not pay in time. What people overlook is that owner and driver can be jointly liable: if the car is in your name, the claim can land on you even though someone else parked it. The deadline to pay or appeal is three weeks.

❓ Frequently asked
What does a parking ticket cost in Norway?
On regulated lots the control charge is 330, 660 or 990 kr, depending on the breach. For breaches of the traffic rules outside such lots the municipality issues a fixed parking fee of 900 kr, rising to 1,350 kr if paid late.
What is the difference between a control charge and a parking fee?
The control charge is imposed on regulated pay lots, private and municipal, and has three rates: 330, 660 and 990 kr. The 900 kr parking fee applies to breaches of the traffic rules outside such lots, and the two have different appeal routes.
What does parking on a disabled space without a permit cost?
The highest control charge, 990 kr, is imposed for parking on a disabled space without a valid permit. It is the top rate of the three, and a valid disabled parking permit is the only thing that gives an exemption.
How long is the appeal deadline?
Three weeks for both the control charge and the parking fee. The deadline covers payment as well as appeal, and a parking fee that is not paid in time rises by 50 percent, from 900 to 1,350 kr.
Where do I appeal?
Disputes over control charges on regulated lots go to the Parking Appeals Board. A municipal parking fee is appealed to the municipality, and if that fails the case can be taken on to the district court.
