Brno Parking

Since 2018, Brno uses a "flower" model for parking in the city.  A person's residential, or a business address, is the flower's centre and the neighbouring areas are the petals.  The city is  divided into three different zones: A, B, and C.

Zone A is the historic city centre.  If you don't have a residency permit then you can't drive in the area or park.

Zone B is a sign around the city centre.  Visitors can park here for for one hour free.  After the first hour it costs 40 Kč (~$2) for every hour after.

Zone C, where I live, takes effect next effect next week.  Parking during the day is free, and on weekends.  On workdays from 17:00 to 06:00, visitors can park for free for the first hour.  Then it's 30 Kč for every hour after.

You have to register your vehicle at the parking metre or via an on-line app in order use the free first hour.  Except for weekends and holidays when you don't have to register for free parking.

A resident parking permit costs 600 Kč ($30) per year for the first vehicle.  It's another 15.000 Kč ($726) for a second vehicle and another 30.000 Kč ($1,450) for every additional vehicle.

Residents can allocate "visitor hours" to guests and tradespeople.  If you live in Zone A or Zone B then you can issue 200 hours per year for free.  You have to pay for additional hours.

For Zone C, it's 100 hours per year for free and additional hours are paid.

Claudia is coming for a visit next week so I registered her German license online so she will be able to park near my flat for 100 hours for the next year.
