Residents with Delinquent Parking Citations
The City of Alexandria encourages residents to pay delinquent parking citation fines immediately to avoid additional fees and delays in registering their vehicles. Beginning April 1, the City will request that the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) withhold registration renewals on any vehicle with a delinquent parking citation fine. Once a hold is in place, the vehicle owner will be required to pay the delinquent balance, plus an additional $20 administrative fee per hold, before DMV will renew their vehicle registration. Residents should also be aware that three delinquent citation fines could result in the immobilization of their vehicle by the Police Department.
Other Virginia jurisdictions are successfully using DMV's Vehicle Registration Withholding Program to collect their delinquent parking citation fines, and the City currently uses the program to collect delinquent personal property taxes. By expanding its participation in the program, the City hopes to collect a portion of the $625,000 in unpaid fines and late penalties on 9,900 parking citations issued between July 1, 2006 and November 10, 2007.
The City offers several convenient payment options for paying delinquent parking tickets. The options are outlined below. Please note that payment for a City/County tag violation must be accompanied by proof that a City/County tag was purchased for the vehicle.
