As Los Angeles County moves into the red tier of re-opening, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Parking Enforcement is set to resume handing out citations on April 1. 

The LASD is urging drivers to be aware that parking citations are set to be resumed starting in April as coronavirus restrictions adjust to modified state guidelines. 

Choosing to temporarily relax parking enforcement, the LASD accommodated for additional parking across L.A. County during the stay-at-home order of 2020. 

However, enforcement is expected to be reinstated as indoor dining re-opens and schools prepare to return to in-person learning, LASD officials said.

As of April 1, the issuance of street sweeping citations, expired registration citations, as well as towing vehicles that have been warned via a “Red Tag” or all other vehicles in violation of parking laws of the state of California and the County of Los Angeles are set to be reinstated. 

Resumed enforcement is expected to include: 

• Street sweeping: Street sweeping will be enforced per 15.20.07(2) LACVC for all streets with posted signs. 

• Expired registration: Vehicles with an expired registration will be cited for 4000(a)(1) CVC; registrations expired in excess of six months, in violation of 4000(a)(1) CVC, will be towed per 22651 (o)(1)(a) CVC. 

• Red tag warnings: Red tag warnings will be issued to vehicles parked within the public right-of-way not displaying signs of movement, such as excessive dirt, spider webs, and debris underneath and around the tires, flat tires, missing parts, and vandalism.

If a vehicle has not been moved after 72 hours notice has been given, a citation for Abandonment Prohibited – 22523 (a)(b) CVC will be issued and the vehicle will be towed immediately, per 22651(k) CVC.

Anyone in need of financial assistance to pay citations, can make arrangements here.
