Parking Tickets

Parking Fines & Late Fees

Parking tickets from the City that are not paid within 21 days will incur an additional $5 late fee.
Parking tickets still not paid after an additional 21 days will incur an additional fee of $20. In addition, registration may be 'marked' at the registry for non-renewal. To remove the 'marking' an additional $20 fee will be charged by the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV).
To avoid substantial late fees and RMV fees, please pay your ticket before the 21 days have elapsed. You can avoid what can amount to additional fees of $45.

White parking tickets may be paid online. Please note that it may take several days before the ticket is available for viewing and paying.
