How much is a parking fine in Sweden?

The national range, Stockholm's three amounts and the extra fee for late payment.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Each municipality sets its own parking fine between SEK 75 and SEK 1,300, and the City of Stockholm lists SEK 900, SEK 1,100 or SEK 1,300 depending on the offence. A late payment adds SEK 150 if the first reminder is not paid in time.

Why

  1. The Swedish Police say the amount may be set at a minimum of SEK 75 and a maximum of SEK 1,300, and that the municipality sets the fee.
  2. The City of Stockholm lists SEK 900 for not paying at a paid space, SEK 1,100 for parking where it is not allowed or breaking a space's limits and rules, and SEK 1,300 for stopping where it is not allowed.
  3. Transportstyrelsen's 2026 news item says the amount varies between SEK 75 and SEK 1,300, and that a reminder fee of SEK 150 is added if the first reminder is not paid in time.

Details

Other cities set their own amounts, so check the page of the municipality where you parked. A private kontrollavgift may not exceed the municipality's felparkeringsavgift, according to the Act on control charges (1984:318). See parking and fines in Sweden and what Stockholm says about minutes over the time.

Tip

The amount depends on the offence, so the cheapest way to avoid a fine is to read the whole sign. If a fine arrives, see how to contest a private parking charge for the private route.

What may differ

The amount depends on the offence and the municipality: Stockholm lists three levels, and other municipalities set their own within the range of SEK 75 to SEK 1,300. Amounts for Gothenburg and Malmö were not available on the pages checked, so see Parkering Göteborg and Malmö stad.

Common misconception

Parking fines are the same amount everywhere in Sweden.

What actually happens

The Swedish Police say the municipality sets the fee, within SEK 75 to SEK 1,300, and Stockholm alone lists three different amounts depending on the offence.
