This round of notices covers 2,894 cases of unpaid environmental improvement charges for the second half of 2025, with a total amount in arrears of 1.26 billion won.

Once a vehicle is seized, the seizure is recorded in the vehicle registration record, making it impossible to transfer ownership, sell, or deregister the vehicle. The statute of limitations for collection rights (five years) is also suspended until the seizure is lifted.

For vehicles that are to be deregistered, substitute seizures will also be carried out to secure claims.

Payments can be made by visiting a nearby financial institution, using internet banking, a dedicated virtual account, internet giro, or the Wetax system.

For further inquiries, please contact the Climate and Energy Division of Goyang City Hall for detailed guidance.

An official from Goyang Special City stated, "The environmental improvement charge is an important resource used to create a pleasant environment," and added, "We hope citizens will avoid disadvantages and participate in environmental protection by adhering to the payment deadlines."
