Violation Policies

Maintaining parking compliance is essential to ensure that everyone parks by the same rules and that spaces are available to those who have paid for a parking permit. Below, you will find information regarding our parking violation policies. 

Unpaid Citations

Vehicles with unpaid citations equal to or greater than double the No Paid Parking fine not on appeal are subject to being towed or immobilized and will remain so until all citations are paid in full.

  • Restricted from Purchasing a Parking Permit: Anyone with unpaid parking fines will not be permitted to register a vehicle or purchase any type of permit until the fines are paid.
  • Student Holds: Any student with an unpaid citation older than 30 days is placed on student-hold status. More information about Student Holds is available online.

The registered holder of the permit is responsible for any and all citations issued to that permit number. Fines will be assessed to the permit holder or the owner of any vehicle on university property in violation of Ohio State Parking Regulations.  If a citation is issued to a vehicle that is not registered with CampusParc, the registered owner of the vehicle will be held responsible for the citation balance.

Upon issuance, vehicles receiving a citation with a balance that have a known customer associated with them will be automatically associated with that customer in our system. Vehicles without an active customer account will remain unassigned and ineligible for notifications until a customer is associated with them.

An initial notice is sent the next business day for any citation that has an assigned customer and an amount due. For citations with no known customer at issuance, the initial notice is sent the following business day after a customer is assigned, either by appeal, registration, or DMV assignment.

Citations remaining outstanding after 15 days with no customer assigned will have the vehicle information/license plate sent to the DMV to identify the registered owner at the time the citation was issued.

DMV results are returned once a week and linked to customers as appropriate, but individual results may take up to two years. Secondary notices are generated 60 days after, if the citation is still unpaid. After 45 days of being unpaid, citations will have a $10 late fee automatically applied. Third notices are sent 90 days after the secondary notice to any citation with a balance.

After 90 days of unpaid status, the third notice has been generated, and the vehicle balance is over $15, the citation fees linked to the vehicle’s license plate will be sent to the collection agency. A $15 collection late fee will also be added to the citations, and the citation status will be “Transferred”.
