What is the cost of an unpaid parking ticket in the US (if you forgot to pay for parking)?

1. This is going to vary across the country. My ticket in Los Angeles a decade ago was around $55.

2. Anywhere between $4 and $400. There’s certainly not a national standard parking fine.

3. Parking is not a federal issue, so this can vary from several dollars, to several hundred dollars depending or where you got the ticket, and why you got the ticket.

4. Parking tickets and penalties for unpaid ones are city-level issues so there are 1000’s of different answers depending on the specific city or town that issued the ticket.
