Full Breakdown
1, "Parking violations enumerated," lists the offense at Subsection P, added by City Council amendment on May 22, 2007: no person may park a vehicle on any front or side lawn of a residential property so that all four wheels sit on the lawn, except during a weather or traffic emergency. The rule targets the common driveway-adjacent habit of pulling a car partly or fully onto turf when a driveway is full; it is written around all four wheels being on the lawn, so a vehicle with wheels partly on a paved apron and partly on grass is not automatically caught, but one parked entirely off the pavement is.
1 individually (double parking $120, blocking a driveway $125, parking in a fire lane $135). 2. 3C: the fine doubles at 30 days after the summons date, triples at 60 days, and at 90 days it triples plus a $20 administrative fee is added, so a $125 lawn-parking ticket left unpaid for three months can reach well over $400.
Violations & Fines
First violation: $125 fine issued by Police, Auxiliary Police, or a Code Enforcement Officer. If unpaid, the fine doubles to $250 at 30 days, triples to $375 at 60 days, and at 90 days triples plus a $20 administrative fee. Emergency parking on a lawn during a declared weather or traffic emergency is exempt from the fine.
