TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — On Monday, August 6, the City of Tucson will begin tagging vehicles tied to three or more unpaid parking tickets.

As of June 30, more than 800 people have three or more outstanding parking tickets with the City of Tucson.

Parking tickets issued by the City of Tucson can be paid by calling (520) 791-4216 or visiting E. Alameda Street, Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
