Request
Installment
Plan (IPP)

Can’t Afford to Pay a Citation? Request an Installment Payment Plan (IPP):

IPP’s are available for citizens whose financial situation qualifies them as a very low-income household, using guidelines established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This IPP does NOT cancel your fine. Once approved it simply allows the total amount due to be paid in installments over a 3-month period (a first installment of 60% of the total due, followed by two installments of 20% of the total).

You will be required to provide detailed income information as part of your IPP request. The Parking Violations Bureau will consider all forms of income, while determining your eligibility for an IPP.

Request an IPP by phone:
(866) 561-9742

Or complete an IPP form and mail to:
Parking Violations Bureau
P.O. Box 30420
Los Angeles, CA 90030
