PARKING FEES
​
Due to a recent U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that ruled chalking tires a violation of the 4th Amendment, the Virginia Police Department will begin using a new electronic handheld parking citation device on 11-01-2019.
The handheld machine generates the ticket immediately with a picture of the vehicle and prints it on a piece of polyvinyl paper that is placed on the vehicle in violation. The parking tickets will have a different look and be visibly smaller than the older ones.
However, do not be surprised if you occasionally see a handwritten citation placed on your vehicle. The police officers will still have the option to write violations when necessary.
Effective October 1, the parking violations were modified as shown below:
​
FEES – $20.00
Expired Meter
Parked Against Traffic
Parked in Alley
Overtime Parking
No Parking 3AM to 6AM
Allowing Motor to Run Unattended
Other
FEES-$15.00

Calendar Parking
If any parking ticket fee or fine is not paid after twenty (20) days, an additional fee of $40.00 will be added to the initial fine or fee.
A friendly reminder that under Virginia City Ordinance 9.99 & 9.13; after a third or subsequent parking violation, unpaid parking citations, within a 12-month period, the police department can tow and impound a vehicle. The vehicle owner is then responsible for tow fees and a $20 per day storage fee.
If you receive a parking citation, please use one of the following options for payment:
​
-
Pay in person or by mail at: Virginia Police Department, 327 1st Street South, Virginia, MN 55792.
-
Pay by phone at 218-366-8617.
