Applying for a no-parking zone for your move in Zurich

In the city of Zurich, a free parking space in front of the door on moving day is worth gold. With a temporary no-parking zone you secure the space for the moving van. Here’s how to proceed.

Why a no-parking zone makes sense

The shorter the distance between the moving van and the front door, the faster and cheaper the move. In densely built neighbourhoods, a guaranteed parking spot is often the decisive factor.

The application process

In Zurich the permit goes through the relevant office of the city police. Allow enough lead time.

  • Submit the application at least 10–14 days in advance
  • State the date, time and required length of the zone
  • After approval, put up (or have put up) the prohibition signs in time
  • The signs must be in place a certain period before the date to be valid

We take care of it for you

On request we apply for the no-parking zone and put up the signs in time – one less thing on your list.
