Wegner: Resident parking in Berlin to become more expensive soon - Berlin’s mayor pushes for higher resident parking fees by 2026
Berlin's Governing Mayor Kai Wegner is set to raise resident parking fees in the coming weeks. The current annual cost of €10.20 per permit is insufficient to cover administrative expenses. Wegner is in talks with Transport Senator Ute Bonde and the CDU parliamentary group to determine the new fee. Wegner aims for a full parking reform, including fee increases, but he is prepared to act independently if a consensus cannot be reached. The mayor believes progress on a comprehensive resident parking system overhaul is too slow and seeks a faster solution. A decision on the new fees is anticipated in the coming weeks as part of the 2026/2027 double budget negotiations. Kai Wegner is pushing for an increase in Berlin's resident parking fees, with a decision expected soon. The current fee of €10.20 is deemed too low, and the mayor is eager to expedite changes to the resident parking system.
