Tow List Notification:

• After the accumulation of $150 of violations within the one parking permit year, a notification letter will be sent to the registered owner or permit-holder.

Citation History:

• The history of citations accumulated by a vehicle during a permit year accompanies that vehicle during the remainder of the permit year. This applies even if the vehicle ownership was originally identified as public, but later citations were billed to a student, faculty, or staff.

Clean Record:

• Vehicles will be cleared from the tow list at the beginning of the next permit year (August 3, 2008) if all accumulated citations have been paid.  If left unpaid, the vehicle will remain on the tow list indefinitely.

Liability:

• The University assumes no responsibility for damage to a towed vehicle.
