Badajoz’s low-emission zone lost in court. The ordinance approved on 4 June 2025 was annulled by the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Extremadura, and the case now sits with the Tribunal Supremo, which will either confirm the annulment or restore the text (RACE). While that is pending there is no perimeter being enforced, no environmental label checked and no fine for driving anywhere in the city.

Badajoz ZBE — Zona de Bajas Emisiones
Badajoz set out a Zona de Bajas Emisiones in a 2025 ordinance, with a first zone meant to start the day after approval. That ordinance has since been annulled by the regional high court, and until the Supreme Court rules, the practical position for a driver is that the zone does not exist: there is nothing to register, nothing to display, and no camera issuing emission penalties.

Who Can Enter?
All vehicles, whatever their Euro class or DGT label. No permit or exemption is needed, because there is no restriction in force to be exempt from.
Sticker / Permit
None. Badajoz is not asking for a DGT environmental label at any point in the city while the ordinance is annulled. If you are continuing to a Spanish city that does run a live zone, that is where the label matters.
Operating Hours
None. No access window is being enforced, so the hours you may see quoted elsewhere belong to a scheme that a court has set aside.
Fines
No fine applies here. Any penalty figure published for Badajoz refers to the annulled ordinance, not to something a driver can be charged today.
Tips for Visitors
- Nothing to arrange for Badajoz right now — but the Supreme Court ruling is the thing that could change it
- If your route continues into Portugal or to another Spanish city, check that city’s own zone separately
- Always verify current rules before travel as regulations may change
Recent changes to this page
- Replaced the vague "postponed" wording with what actually happened: the June 2025 ordinance was annulled by the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Extremadura and the Tribunal Supremo has yet to rule on it. Two lines that contradicted the not-in-force verdict were removed from the body — a DGT label requirement at EUR 5 and a weekday 07:00-21:00 window — and the sticker and zone-checker widgets went with them.
- Title, description and introduction rewritten from this page's own data (no shared template wording).
- Corrected a contradiction: the page asserted a fine and an active zone while the scheme is postponed and not enforced. Title, summary, key facts and body now match the zone status.
- Re-verified fine (EUR 100–200) and requirements against Spain authority portal.
- Confirmed DGT Environmental Label required remains mandatory; 2026 ruleset unchanged.
- Updated enforcement procedure notes after seasonal review cycle.
