About parking, parking fines and complaints
Parking fines
Cars parked in a manner that violates the parking rules will be fined, NOK 660 currently - or NOK 990 if the car is parked in a space reserved for movement-disabled with a parking permit.
Fining is in accordance with the national parking regulations that came into force 1 January, 2017 with additional updates – see the regulation on lovdata.no (in Norwegian).
Parking fines - complaints
UiA has engaged Apcoa as a controlling authority.
Apcoa fines violations of parking rules and is also the appellate authority.
Apcoa handles all cases about fines – meaning that all inquiries and complaints must go through Apcoa's systems. On Apcoa's website “About fines” you can also find out how to contact Apcoa's customer support centre.
If you want to make a complaint about a fine (parking ticket), it must be submitted in writing. This can be done at www.kontrollavgift.no.
See the Norwegian Consumer Council’s checklist for complaints (in Norwegian).
Apcoa's controlling activity is performed for a set cost. Income from fines and parking go directly to UiA and is used to operate the parking facilities and for environmental efforts, cf. UiA Board’s resolution in item 101/16 (in Norwegian).
