 Why Did I Get a Parking Ticket?

Parking Tickets
More than likely you received a parking ticket for parking on a city street between November 15 - April 1st between the hours of 3 AM & 7 AM. Due to the possibility of snow needing to be plowed during these times, no vehicle is allowed to park on the street over night. The Turtle Lake Police Department will ticket you and may also have you towed if your vehicle is blocking snow plows from doing their duty.

Unpaid Parking Tickets
Parking tickets must be paid or contested immediately to the court or police department. If tickets are left unpaid, fine will increase to $50. If still unpaid after 30 days, your registration of your vehicle WILL BE SUSPENDED.

 Why Did My Taxes Get Intercepted?

Tax Interecept
More than likely your taxes have been garnished due to an unpaid court citation(s). The court will send a letter to the defendant prior to their taxes being intercepted notifying them that their taxes will be garnished to pay outstanding fines.

The defendant has ten days once the letter is received to contest the matter with the court. If the matter is not resolved or paid upon the time the defendant files taxes, all or part of the taxes will be intercepted to pay the outstanding balance due to the court.
It is important for the defendant to make sure the court has a current mailing address to receive correspondence. The court will use the address that was listed on the defendant's citation unless otherwise indicated by defendant.
