A parking space and a storage unit – prices 2026 and whether you have to buy

A parking space in the garage of a new block now usually costs from a developer 30–50 thousand zł in Warsaw and 30–65 thousand zł in Wrocław. In the very centre prices reach 100–180 thousand zł. A storage unit (komórka lokatorska) is most often 10–25 thousand zł. The Act does not oblige you to buy either a space or a storage unit, but a lot depends on the offer of a specific development. Below we compile prices from developers' price lists, explain in what legal form a parking space is bought, and calculate by how much the total purchase budget rises.

Key facts

• According to developers' price lists (September 2026) a space in a garage usually costs 30–50 thousand zł in Warsaw and 29–65 thousand zł in Wrocław, and a storage unit 8–35 thousand zł.
• A developer must publish on its website the prices of ancillary premises and rights necessary to use the unit, if they are not included in the price of the flat, including VAT (art. 19a of the Developer Act).
• The most common form is a share in the co-ownership of a garage unit with its own land and mortgage register and an agreement on the manner of use (a specific space). A storage unit is usually an ancillary room of the flat.
• No provision obliges a buyer to acquire a parking space. The local plan sets the minimum number of spaces the investor must build, not the number of spaces you must buy.
• Entering a share in a garage in the land and mortgage register costs a proportional part of 200 zł, but not less than 100 zł.

How much does a parking space from a developer cost? Prices in Warsaw and Wrocław

Since July 2025 developers pass price data once a day to the minister responsible for digitalisation (art. 19b of the Developer Act). The data are published on the dane.gov.pl portal, and alongside the prices of flats the prices of parking spaces, storage units and bicycle boxes go there. We went through the files of 26–27 September 2026 for developments in Warsaw and Wrocław. You will find most of them in our catalogue.

Development (district)	A parking space	A storage unit (komórka lokatorska)
Metro Art, Warsaw (Praga-Południe)	30,000–48,000	–
Miasteczko Nova Sfera, Warsaw (Białołęka)	30,000–38,000, individual ones up to about 62,000	–
Viva Garden 14, Warsaw (Białołęka)	32,000–40,000, individual ones up to about 59,000	–
Ikona Światowida 5, Warsaw (Białołęka)	42,000 (platform), 46,000 (surface)	13,600–20,000
Aleja Krakowska 201, Warsaw (Włochy)	17,800–37,800 (platform), 39,000–50,000 (underground)	–
A development on ul. Grzybowska, Warsaw (centre)	180,000 (underground garage)	10,855–20,800
Przystań Reymonta, Wrocław (Psie Pole)	29,000 (bldg WR2), 47,000 (bldg WR1–WR3, individual ones up to 83,250)	–
Osiedle Metr Kwadrat, Wrocław (Fabryczna)	35,000; with a storage unit 35,660–79,250	8,040–18,360
Apartamenty Krakowska, Wrocław (Krzyki)	45,000 (garage), 35,000 (a dependent or outdoor space)	14,800–23,950 (5,000 per m²)
River Point, Wrocław (Kępa Mieszczańska)	53,000, individual ones 75,000	–
Lokum Porto Finale, Wrocław (Stare Miasto)	69,000–99,000	13,900–34,900

Several patterns follow from the table. In Warsaw outside the centre a typical space in a garage costs 30–48 thousand zł. Even within one building there are sometimes several price levels, because wider spaces, family ones, those by the entrance or with the option of fitting a charger are dearer. A space on a parking platform (two-level) or a dependent one, that is set "one behind another", is clearly cheaper. In Apartamenty Krakowska the difference is 10 thousand zł, and in the Aleja Krakowska 201 development the lower and upper platform differ by 20 thousand zł. In Wrocław the spread is larger: from 29 thousand zł in Psie Pole to 69–99 thousand zł in an apartment building by the Oder.

For comparison: 40 thousand zł is roughly 2.8 m² of a flat in Białołęka, where the median price is 14,122 zł/m² according to data from the TM Invest offer, as of 27 September 2026. You can check the prices of flats and spaces in specific developments in the catalogue, e.g. new flats in Białołęka or new flats in Krzyki.

What are you actually buying? The legal forms of a parking space and a storage unit

In the price list you see "parking space no. 42", but legally it may be several different things. The form decides what will be in the notarial deed, what the VAT will be and whether the space can later be sold separately.

A share in a garage unit with a quoad usum agreement

This is the most common solution in garages. The whole garage is one non-residential unit, that is a separate property with its own land and mortgage register (art. 2 sec. 1 of the Act on Ownership of Premises). You buy a share in it, e.g. 1/80, and the co-owners in an agreement set out who uses which space. This is a so-called quoad usum division. Such an agreement also operates against the next acquirer of the share if they knew of it or could easily have learned of it (art. 221 of the Civil Code). It is safest when the manner of use is disclosed in the garage's land and mortgage register (art. 16 sec. 2 pt 3 of the Act on Land and Mortgage Registers and Mortgages). You can sell the share without the consent of the other co-owners (art. 198 of the Civil Code), and the buyer may be, for example, a neighbour from the block.

A garage or storage unit as an ancillary room

The Act on Ownership of Premises allows ancillary rooms to be assigned to a flat as its component parts: a cellar, an attic, a storage unit or a garage. They need not adjoin the unit and may even lie outside the building (art. 2 sec. 4). This is how storage units are most often sold. Such a storage unit has no register of its own and cannot be sold without the flat. Its area, however, increases your share in the common property (art. 3 sec. 3), and therefore also the advance payments towards management costs. We write more about how the owners' community charges are calculated in the article Service charges in a new block.

A right of exclusive use of a common area or a separate unit

Surface spaces in front of the building or storage units in a corridor are often owned by nobody. They are part of the common property, and you get the right of exclusive use of them under an agreement on the manner of use. Less often you will meet a lockable garage box separated as an independent unit with its own register. The condition is that it must be separated by permanent walls (art. 2 sec. 2 of the Act). Always check in the draft developer agreement which form applies to your space. This is one of the questions from our list of what to ask a developer.

Do you have to buy a parking space together with the flat?

There is no provision that would oblige a purchaser to buy a parking space or a storage unit. The obligations lie on the investor, not on the buyer. The local plan must set, among other things, the minimum number and manner of providing parking spaces, including spaces for people with a parking card (art. 15 sec. 2 pt 6 of the Act on Spatial Planning and Development). It may also set their maximum number (art. 15 sec. 3 pt 12). A developer must therefore build a certain number of spaces, but to whom and in what package it sells them is a matter of its offer.

In practice you will meet three models. In the first you buy the space and storage unit optionally. In the second the developer sells some flats (e.g. larger ones or ones with a garden) only with a space in a package. In the third the space is included in the price of the unit. Each is permitted, but the developer must show prices in advance. If the price of the space is not included in the price of the flat, it must publish it on its website together with the history of changes (art. 19a sec. 1 pt 2 and sec. 2). If on signing the agreement the price turns out higher than the published one, you may demand a contract at the price more favourable to you (art. 19a sec. 6). A mandatory "extra" in the price list is one of the traps described in the article What to watch out for when buying a flat from a developer.

Is it worth buying a space if you have no car? There are usually not enough spaces in the garage once the estate is occupied. Buying a space later may be hard or dearer, and a well-placed space is easy to let (more on that below). On the other hand 30–50 thousand zł is often several loan instalments a year. If the budget is tight, it is better to choose a slightly larger flat than a space you will not use.

Not sure whether a package with a space in a given development is a good price? We will help you choose and buy a flat from a developer. We will compare parking-space prices in several developments and talk to the developer about the terms. For the buyer this is most often a service without a commission, because our fee is usually paid by the developer.

An example: by how much do a space and a storage unit raise the purchase budget?

Take two typical 2-room flats from the median prices in our offer (according to data from the TM Invest offer, as of 27 September 2026) and add a space and a storage unit at the prices from the table above.

Item	Warsaw	Wrocław
A 2-room flat (median price in the offer)	755,824	662,405
A parking space in a garage	40,000	45,000
A storage unit (komórka lokatorska)	15,000	17,400 (3.48 m² × 5,000)
Total	810,824	724,805
The rise in the budget	+55,000 (+7.3%)	+62,400 (+9.4%)

With a loan and a 20% deposit the space and storage unit mean an additional 11–12.5 thousand zł of deposit. If you want to finance them with the loan, ask the bank whether the same loan agreement and the same mortgage security will cover them.

VAT, the notary and the land and mortgage register – additional costs

VAT. A space and storage unit sold together with the flat, without a separate register and for one price, usually carry the flat's rate, that is 8%. In the data we went through most developers (e.g. Robyg, Polaris, Lokum) state 8% also for garage spaces. When a space has its own register and is a separate object of sale, the tax authorities treat it as a separate supply, which may mean 23%. We described the details and case law in the article VAT on a flat from a developer. Prices in price lists are always given including VAT.

The notarial fee. The value of the space increases the value of the act on which the fee is calculated. For a value from 30 to 60 thousand zł the maximum rate is 710 zł plus 1% of the excess over 30 thousand zł (§ 3 pt 4 of the regulation on maximum rates of the notarial fee schedule). When you buy a space for 40,000 zł under a separate contract, this gives at most 810 zł net. If the transfer takes place in performance of an obligation contract, e.g. a developer agreement, the maximum is half, that is 405 zł net (§ 6 pt 2). 23% VAT is added to the fee. When the space is in the same deed as the flat, ask the notary how they will calculate their fee. The regulation sets only an upper limit. More: the notarial fee.

Court fees. A garage unit already has a land and mortgage register set up by the developer, so you pay for entering your share. The fee is a part of 200 zł proportional to the share, but not less than 100 zł (art. 42 sec. 2 of the Act on Court Costs in Civil Cases). With a share of 1/80 you will therefore pay the minimum, that is 100 zł. If the agreement on the manner of use is also entered in the register, a fee as for entering a claim is added, that is 150 zł (art. 43 pt 3). The court costs of register entries connected with the developer agreement itself you share with the developer half and half (art. 40 sec. 2 of the Developer Act). You will find the full summary of fees in the article Court fees when buying a flat.

Property tax. A room for storing vehicles in a residential building is taxed like a residential part (art. 1a sec. 2c of the Local Taxes and Fees Act). In 2026 the rate in Warsaw and Wrocław is 1.25 zł/m². With co-ownership of a multi-space garage you pay according to your share (art. 3 sec. 4a). If your share is e.g. 25 m² of the garage, the tax will be about 31 zł a year. You will find the rates and deadlines in the article Property tax on a flat.

A parking space as an investment – does letting pay?

In rental adverts of September 2026 a space in the garage of a new block usually costs 300–400 zł a month in Warsaw and 200–300 zł in Wrocław (indicative ranges from adverts). In the centre rates are higher. Income from private letting is taxed by lump-sum tax: 8.5% up to 100 thousand zł of revenue a year.

Assumption	Warsaw	Wrocław
The price of the space	40,000	45,000
The rent	350 a month	250 a month
Annual revenue	4,200	3,000
Lump-sum tax 8.5%	357	255
After tax	3,843	2,745
The rate of return before garage charges	9.6%	6.1%

From the result deduct the advance payments for maintaining the garage (lighting, ventilation, cleaning, the gate), which the community often charges separately from space owners. The high rate in Warsaw results from the low price of spaces outside the centre, but a tenant is easier to find by the metro and in dense development. We write more broadly about letting as an investment in the article A flat as an investment.

Frequently asked questions

Summary

A parking space in a new block is today an expense of the order of 30–50 thousand zł, and a storage unit 10–25 thousand zł. Together they raise the purchase budget by 7–10%. You do not have to buy them, unless the developer sells the flat in a package. Prices must, however, be open on its website, and since July 2025 they also go to the dane.gov.pl portal. Before you sign the agreement, check the legal form of the space (a share in a garage, an ancillary room, a right of use), because VAT, fees and the possibility of later sale depend on it. If you want someone to go through these provisions, order a review of your developer agreement.
