Contesting a parking fine in Ghent

How to dispute a retribution from Mobiliteitsbedrijf Stad Gent — deadline, online form and the safe postal fallback.

Updated 11 June 2026 · 4 min read

Parking in Ghent is managed by Mobiliteitsbedrijf Stad Gent. A retribution lands when a session is unpaid or expired — and it's often contestable.

Deadline

You usually have about 30 days from the notice date. Always confirm with your own document.

How to object

Ghent runs an online objection form. If it's unavailable or you'd rather have proof, send a written objection by registered post to: Mobiliteitsbedrijf Stad Gent, Botermarkt 1, 9000 Gent.

Good reasons

  • You paid (ticket, app, SMS) for the right time and zone.
  • Valid resident or care permit.
  • Plate misread, or car not in your possession.
  • Meter out of order or signage missing.

Note: a LEZ camera fine in Ghent is a separate matter — see our LEZ guide. Quitte tells the two apart and drafts the right letter.

Don't pay a fine you can contest

Snap a photo of your fine. Quitte finds the flaws and writes your contestation letter in French and Dutch, better than a €200 lawyer, free and in seconds.
