Late Payment
Failure to pay a citation will result in legal proceeding against the registered owner, or lessee or renter with an increase in the amount due.
In addition to fine increases, the total amount due will be forwarded to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The DMV will refuse to register the vehicle until all outstanding citations have been paid in full or dismissed. Vehicles which have received five or more parking citations, to which no response is received, are subject to being impounded (22651 (i) (j) CVC)
