Code of Ordinance Photo

Town Council amended the Town Code on 12/13/22 to clarify that parking violations will be treated as civil citations as opposed to misdemeanors. This change allows the Town to keep the civil penalties collected whereas charging them as infractions means that any fines collected must be turned over to the local Board of Education per the NC Constitution. The fine for such citations stay around $50.  You may review this updated ordinance here.   See Chapter 30 (“Traffic and Vehicles”), Article III (“Parking Violations: Enforcement”), Section 30-26 (“Parking and use of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations”) and Section 30-63 (“Penalty”).
