Local administrative and infrastructure updates in Romania

In Alba Iulia, the newly opened Parkingul Arnsberg multi-story garage has reported low initial occupancy, with only 35 of 127 spaces filled five days after its October 26 opening. Drivers in the area continue to utilize residential parking and sidewalks despite the new facility.

In Alba County, the County Council has introduced a draft decision for 2027 regarding urbanism and construction taxes. The proposal includes tiered fees for urbanism certificates based on land size and sets construction permit taxes at 0.5% for residential buildings and 1% for other structures.

In Hunedoara, municipal authorities clarified that new parking fees near the Policlinica area are intended to ensure space availability for hospital patients, addressing issues where spaces were frequently occupied by vehicles unrelated to hospital activities.

In Bucharest, City Hall reported that paid public parking spaces increased from 23,312 in June 2024 to 52,195 in June 2026. While officials claim a 75% increase in payments, some analyses suggest a 20% decrease in transaction volume per space during that period.
