Parking violations are one of the most common complaints and frustrations we hear about in Fremont. While we don’t have a parking enforcement unit, we do have very dedicated Community Service Officers who in between their regular duties, try to respond to all of the complaints in a timely manner.
Starting tomorrow, May 27 and continuing through the end of the following week, we will conduct targeted parking enforcement throughout the City of Fremont.
Most violations carry a $63 fine for the first offense, and for the 2nd offense of same violation (within 12 months), the penalty is doubled ($123). And the 3rd offense of same violation within 12 months, the penalty is five times the original amount ($303).
In response to feedback and common complaints, these are some of the sections we’ll be targeting our enforcement efforts around over the next two weeks:
· If your vehicle registration is expired, keep it off public roadways until renewed, or you can be cited. And, if registration is expired over 6 months, a vehicle can be towed…immediately.
· 22514 CVC – Fire hydrant parking (“No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle within 15 feet of a fire hydrant…”). The curb is SOMETIMES painted red, but most of the time it is not. So, please steer clear of all hydrants!
· 10.05.630 FMC – No Stopping Any Time Check for signs posted in area. Just because other vehicles are parked there, doesn’t mean it’s okay!
· 18.183.180 (G) FMC – Vehicles over 20’ in length (or vehicle/trailer over 20’ combined) are prohibited on residential streets. Unattached boats/trailers also prohibited on city streets AND on private property if in public view.
