Surcharges and complaints related to parking in Józsefváros

Municipalities operating public parking spaces have the right to charge fees and surcharges, which must be paid by the motorist using the parking space.

Act I of 1988 on Road Transport:

Article 15 (3) The manager of a public road may impose a fee and a surcharge on parking places established or designated on public roads or on public areas outside the public road.

(4) The user shall be responsible for the payment of the fees and surcharges specified in paragraph (1) and in Article 33(2).

(5) If the fee specified in paragraph (3) has not been paid, the road manager or the economic entity entrusted by them under an agreement shall post a notice of default within 60 days of the date of unauthorised use of the road in the parking place or designated waiting place.

If the customer fails to pay the surcharge within the deadline, the JGK Zrt. Parking Directorate has the right to enforce the claim, including by legal action, the cost of which shall be borne by the customer.

Please pay the surcharge within 15 calendar days from the date of its imposition, as from the 16th day the amount of the surcharge will increase (by virtue of the law, according to the formula described therein). Any delay of more than 60 days will result in additional charges being added to the surcharge.

The obligation to pay the fee and the surcharge shall expire after one year. Interest on late payment of the fee and the surcharge cannot be claimed, but the additional costs associated with the parking operator’s surcharge can.

Enforcement costs include in particular the postal and administrative costs of payment notices, the cost of obtaining information from the vehicle register, any lawyer’s fees and the cost of any court proceedings, which can range from a few thousand forints to tens of thousands of forints.

A surcharge is payable if you park without paying in the area subject to the charge or if you park for more than 5 minutes beyond the paid parking time if you have paid for less than an hour or 15 minutes beyond the parking time if you have paid for one hour or more.

If a staff member surcharges you for an expired ticket, the grace period is calculated from the expiry time of the previous (expired) ticket, not from the time of the check.

From March 24, 2022, our company also offers the possibility to pay the surcharge via SimplePay.

After registering in our customer interface (https://ugyfelablak.jgk.hu/login), you can pay the surcharge by accessing the Parking Surcharge details – Financial details – Payment by credit card page (a Parkolási Pótdíj adatainak megtekintése – Pénzügyi adatok – Bankkártyás fizetés) and using the SimplePay online credit card payment interface.

The surcharge can also be paid by cash transfer order, domestic postal order or bank transfer enclosed with the payment notice.

If the surcharge is not paid via SimplePay, please indicate the payer ID (or document number) and vehicle registration number in the message field.

We cancel the surcharge in the following cases:

  • if you had a valid parking ticket at the time of the check but did not display it in accordance with the Regulation, or if no more than 10 minutes elapsed between the time the parking ticket became valid and the time of the check, or 5 minutes in the case of a mobile phone parking fee and the time of the check – and the original parking ticket or MOBIL parking fee is subsequently presented to our customer service office,
  • if you have a disabled person’s parking permit, which was only partially visible in the vehicle at the time of the check (and therefore not fully verifiable on the spot for eligibility purposes) and you present it to our customer service.

In no other case can we waive the surcharge.

In particular:

  • if the vehicle has been clearly ticketed for an expired parking ticket,
  • if it is clearly visible that the ID card of the person with reduced mobility is not behind the front windscreen and the car does not bear any sign indicating reduced mobility,
  • if it is clearly visible that the security marking on your ticket is missing or has been altered.

The surcharge imposed can only be canceled if there is no disputed surcharge on the vehicle for which the surcharge has been imposed for more than one month.

Your complaint about a parking surcharge has NO EFFECT on deadlines!
