Sarasota – The fine for an overtime parking violation
within the City of Sarasota will increase from $7.50 to $15.00
effective Mon., June 4, 2007. The increase is designed to
help alleviate parking problems by discouraging drivers from
parking illegally. “Hopefully, it will help regulate
some of the people who don’t find the $7.50 fine to
be a penalty,” said Bob Kamper, City of Sarasota Parking
Director. The measure brings Sarasota in line with most southwest
Florida cities, where the average cost of an overtime parking
ticket is $15.00.
