Low Income Payment Plans for Parking Citations
California Vehicle Code (CVC) 40220 establishes that low-income individuals may be eligible for a payment plan for unpaid parking citations. Citations issued PRIOR to July 1, 2018, will be granted a payment plan, upon request, when eligibility is established. For citations issued after July 1, 2018, requests must be submitted within sixty (60) calendar days of citation issuance or ten (10) calendar days after an administrative hearing decision, whichever is later.
The Low-income Payment Plan Application can be downloaded.
If you have questions about the payment plans, see Low Income Payment Plans for Parking Citations FAQ’s or call Customer Service toll-free at (844) 232-9188.
