Removal of Abandoned Vehicles

Report an abandoned vehicle

Non-compliance by holder of the vehicle

This applies in particular to vehicles parked for long periods of time which cause damage, pose a danger to the environment or interfere with the aesthetic appearance of the municipality or a specially protected part of the countryside or nature.

Failure to comply with the obligation under Section 67(1)(a) of the Waste Act may result in a fine of up to 1,500€ being imposed on the owner of the vehicle.

If the holder of the vehicle fails to comply with these obligations and his vehicle:

• causes damage to the environment, then the City Hall or the relevant local authority (depending on who owns the public space or road on which the vehicle is parked) shall immediately remove and subsequently place such a vehicle in a designated parking area,
• poses a danger to the environment or interferes with the aesthetic appearance of the Capital City or a specially protected area of the countryside, then the City Hall or the relevant local authority shall require the holder of such a vehicle to remove the vehicle from the public space himself within 60 days. If, after the expiry of 60 days from the date of the notice, the holder of the vehicle fails to rectify the situation, the City Hall or the relevant local authority shall remove and subsequently place such a vehicle in a designated parking area.

The costs of removing the vehicle to the designated parking place shall be borne by the holder of the vehicle, in accordance with the Waste Act.
