Glen Cove Sees First Parking Fine Increase In 20 Years

GLEN COVE, NY — The City of Glen Cove has recently approved a significant increase in parking violation fines for the first time in two decades.

Certain violations will be raised from $50 and $75 to $120 and $135. These increases serve to remind residents to comply with parking regulations, as well as enhance public safety rather than to generate additional revenue, Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck said.

The City said these fines are now more in line with neighboring towns and villages in Nassau County.

According to Nassau County's website, the Town of Hempstead's prohibited parking fine is $125, and the Town of Oyster Bay's is $135.

The Town stated: "The City believes these adjustments strike an appropriate balance between deterrence and fairness while helping to ensure that parking regulations are respected throughout the community."
