New policy takes effect
Monday, September 26
*

Starting Monday, September 26, the City of Somerville will begin issuing parking violations to motor vehicles with expired registrations and inspection stickers. The new policy was approved during the City budget deliberation process in June and the violations will cost $50.

Other municipalities such as Boston, Worcester, Lynn, Revere and Brookline also issue parking tickets for expired registrations and inspections. The only vehicles that will be subject to ticketing will be those that are not registered to operate legally on public roads and those that have not received annual certification that they are safe to operate on public roads.

City of Somerville parking control officers will be the parties responsible for issuing the expired registration/inspection tickets to parked vehicles. Police officers will continue to issue moving violations to vehicles with expired stickers.
