PARKING CITATION LOW INCOME PAYMENT PLANS

California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 40220 allows for installment payments of parking citations for qualifying low-income individuals who apply within 120 days from the issuance of a notice of parking violation, or within 10 days after an administrative hearing determination, whichever is later. Once a citation is enrolled in this program, it is no longer eligible for appeal pursuant to an Administrative Review or Hearing.

How to enroll in a payment plan:
If you are either Low Income and/or the recipient of Public Benefits, you must fully complete and sign an application form to enroll in a payment plan. You are only entitled to enroll in a payment plan once for any
specific parking citation(s). Subject to the timing requirements, you may enroll in additional payment plans for any citation(s) which were not previously included in a payment plan.

Changes that go into effect immediately per AB 3277:

• This bill would increase the total amount that can be paid in installments to $500 (Previous amount was $300)
• This bill would extend the time in which those penalties and fees can be paid to 24 months. (Previously citizens had 18 months to pay.)
• This bill would require the payment plan for indigent persons to instead allow a person a period of 120 calendar days to file that request. (Previously indigent persons were given 60 days to file a request)
• Poverty income guidelines have been updated:
