If you park illegally in Helsinki, you may receive a parking fine. The fine is €80 in the city centre and €60 elsewhere in Helsinki.
You can find all the information you need to pay your fine on the parking fine slip left on your vehicle. If you have misplaced your parking fine slip, please contact the Urban Environment Division's customer service.
If you pay a fine after the due date, add €14 to the amount payable to avoid us sending you an unnecessary demand for payment.
If a parking fine you have received contains an incorrect vehicle registration number, you can report this by email to pysakointi@hel.fi.
