Fact Check San Dimas provides a Question and Answer approach to answering concerns regarding critical topics.
1) Can I avoid a processing fee charge when paying parking citations?
Yes. The current processing fee for online parking citation payments is $5.95. It's important to note that the online payment system has been outsourced to a third-party provider for several years. However, residents have alternative payment options to avoid this fee.
Option 1: Mail directly - Those with parking citations can choose to mail in their payment. Option 2: Drop-off at City Hall - Individuals may drop off an envelope with payment at City Hall, where it will be mailed by the City for free.
Payments must be made by check or money order; sending cash through the mail is discouraged to ensure safe and effective processing.
