17.3 Residential parking

Parking signs indicate which residents are entitled to park in a particular area, for example 'Boende Va' means residents of Vasastaden, and 'Boende Ö' means residents of Östermalm.

Residential parking spaces cannot be used on service nights or service days (for street cleaning, snow clearing, streetlight maintenance, drain clearing and minor road repairs). Parking signs indicate when parking is not allowed.

Residential parking requires a special permit from the municipality in which the person resides. Payment can normally be made per day or per month.

For persons living in the City of Stockholm the application form can be found on the City of Stockholm website - external website,. It should be sent to [email protected] - opens your email client, along with a copy of the contract for accommodation at the specified address, a statement by the mission indicating the applicant's residential address and vehicle registration number. To remain valid, the residential parking permit must be renewed each year. This is done via email to the above-mentioned address before the end of the year.

Private parking options are also available, e.g. in garages. One such option is the private parking company Stockholm Parkering, which is run by Stockholm City. More information is available on Stockholm Parkering's website - external website,.
