Evanston to Waive Late Fees on Parking Citations

City has announced a one-time program that waives all late fees on outstanding parking citations that were incurred during the seven years before September 30, 2012.

 

Have outstanding parking tickets? If you incurred parking citations between September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2012, you could be eligible for Evanston’s one-time program that waives all late fees on outstanding parking citations, according to a press release. 

The city has contracted with Professional Account Management, LLC to mail out notifications to those with outstanding parking tickets. To qualify for this offer, payments must be received by June 30, 2013. About 40,000 accounts are eligible for this program totaling about $2.7 million.

After the deadline for this one-time parking ticket collections program, people who did not participate will have their accounts submitted for state income tax refund interception through the Illinois Local Debt Recovery Program and all late fees associated with these delinquent parking tickets will be reinstated.
