The Village of Owego is proposing an increase to parking ticket fees for the first time in decades.
The current parking ticket fees are $10. The proposed change would increase that cost to $50 for vehicles that park too long in timed spots in the village.
Fees would be dropped to $25 if tickets are paid within five business days.
Owego Mayor Mike Baratta told WBNG-TV, “We did a bunch of research, and $50 is kind of on the low end of a parking fee. As far as the officer’s time at $10, we’re kind of definitely losing money for every parking ticket we write.”
