Title X TAXATION AND REVENUE
Chapter 137
• Effective - 28 Aug 2004
137.298. Cities may pass ordinance to include charges for outstanding parking tickets on personal property tax bill — personal property tax receipt, issued when — cities may enter into agreements with county to include outstanding vehicle-related fees and fines on personal property tax bill. —
1. Other provisions of law to the contrary notwithstanding, any city may by ordinance include as a charge on bills issued for personal property taxes any outstanding parking violations issued on any vehicle for which personal property tax is to be paid and, if required by ordinance, such charge shall be collected with and in the same payment as personal property taxes are collected by the collector of revenue of such city. No personal property tax bill shall be considered paid unless all charges for parking violations are also paid in full and the collector of revenue shall not issue a paid personal property receipt until all such charges are paid.
2. Any city or city not within a county may enter into a contract or cooperative agreement with the county governing body and county collector of any county with a charter form of government or any county of the first classification to include as a charge on bills issued for personal property taxes any outstanding vehicle-related fees and fines, including traffic violations, assessed or issued on any vehicle for which personal property tax is to be paid. If the outstanding vehicle-related fees and fines are against a car that is registered in the name of a rental or leasing company and the vehicle is rented or leased to another person at the time the fees or fines are assessed, the rental or leasing company may rebut the presumption by providing the county governing body and county collector a copy of the rental or lease agreement in effect at the time the fees or fines were assessed. A rental or leasing company shall not be charged for these fees or fines under this subsection unless prior written notice of the fees or fines have been given to that rental or leasing company by ordinary mail at the address appearing on the registration and the rental or leasing company has failed to provide the rental or lease agreement copy within fifteen days of receipt of such notice. For the purpose of this section, vehicle-related fees and fines shall include, but not be limited to, traffic violation fines, parking violation fines, towing and vehicle immobilization fees, and any late payment penalties and court costs associated with adjudication or collection of those fines. No personal property tax bill shall be considered paid unless all charges for parking violations and other vehicle-related fees and fines are also paid in full, and the county collector shall not issue a paid personal property tax receipt until all such charges are paid. Any contract or cooperative agreement shall be in writing, signed by the city, county governing body, and county collector, and shall set forth the provisions and terms agreed to by the parties.
