Payment Rules/Regulations

I. A registered owner or person responsible for the citations shall be eligible to enroll in a payment plan when they have two or more unpaid citations, or a single citation of at least $350. Citations from another agency cannot be combined on a payment plan. 

1. Once this threshold is met, any citations associated with this vehicle, registered owner, or person responsible may be added to the payment plan, at the time of enrollment.
2. If additional citations are accrued during the payment plan period, the plan may not be modified to include these citations, nor will a concurrent payment plan be offered.
3. Citations in a payment plan will not count towards immobilization/tow/impound eligibility.
4. Once a vehicle is immobilized/towed/impounded due to other violations, all citations, including those on a payment plan are immediately due.

II. Applied late fees will not be removed. Any late fees not yet applied will be placed in abeyance for the payment plan duration.  If the applicant adheres to the plan terms, the late fees in abeyance will be waived upon satisfactory plan completion. 

III.      Academic Holds placed on the Student records will remain until the total fees are paid in full.  A payment plan does not constitute the release of the academic hold. 

1. A payment plan shall not impact individual campus procedures for using the student academic hold process (pursuant to SBCC).

IV. Once the payment plan is in place and the applicant adheres to its terms, an itemization of unpaid parking penalties will not be filed with the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) and any DMV Registration Hold in place will be temporarily removed pending satisfactory completion of the payment plan.

1. If applicant defaults on payment plan, it will become void and the DMV Registration Hold will be reinstated, if applicable.

V. The fee to enroll in a payment plan is $25.00 and must be included with the first payment or added to the payment plan amount.

VI. Payments must be made each calendar month.
