Grand Junction's Parking Ticket Amnesty Is Now Underway — Google Street

August amnesty gives those of us with eligible overdue parking tickets a temporary break on the late-fee portion of the debt. Take care of the ticket this month, and Grand Junction will trim the late fee down to $45. After September 1, unpaid overdue citations could cost you a lot more.

Exactly How the $100 Parking Ticket Becomes $45

A parking ticket in Grand Junction is usually $25. The maximum late fee is normally $75. During August amnesty, the maximum late fee is reduced to $20. The total amount due will be $45. Or do nothing and maybe get the boot next month with a $160 removal fee.

Does the $45 deal apply to all parking tickets? It does not. The city says amnesty applies to eligible overdue tickets that have reached the maximum late fee. If you have several unpaid tickets, you should pay attention, as your ride is eligible for booting after three unpaid parking tickets within 2 years, and the third has remained unpaid for 30 days past the late fee. See how confusing that is? Maybe pay the ticket.
