Drivers will once again be charged late fees on infractions in Seattle for the first time since before the pandemic.

The Seattle Municipal Court said it's resuming late fees for Seattle infraction tickets that are past their due date beginning Monday. Late fees have been suspended by the city since March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The city said there are about 350,000 tickets that will be assigned late fees if they remain unpaid by Monday. The court offers payment plans and community service plans, as well as hearings to dispute or mitigate tickets before Monday to avoid late fees.

The late fee adds $25 for parking and camera tickets and an additional $52 for traffic tickets, the city said.

Tickets can be paid online, by mail or in person at the Seattle Municipal Court — 600 5th Avenue — or at a neighborhood Seattle Customer Service Center.

“It doesn’t feel very fair,” Matt Long, who parks in Seattle, told KOMO News Friday. “The people who are late are probably the people who can’t afford it.”

Resident Maria Ewing said the city should focus on and ticket vehicles parked in the same spot for “days upon months” without getting ticketed or recieve little punishment.

“The city needs to ticket everybody and do those policies on everybody across the board,” said Ewing.
