§ 50-66. Collection of civil parking penalties.

(a)

As authorized by Florida Statutes section 316.1967(6), the Monroe County clerk of the court or the traffic violations bureau is directed to supply the state department of highway safety and motor vehicles with a magnetically encoded computer tape reel or cartridge, or to supply by other electronic means, data that is machine readable by the installed computer at the department, listing persons who have three or more outstanding village parking violations or one or more violations of section 50-61, of the Village Code, concerning violations relating to parking spaces for persons who have disabilities.

(b)

As authorized by Florida Statutes section 320.03(8), the Monroe County tax collector may not issue a license plate or revalidation sticker to an applicant whose name appears on the list referred to in subsection (a) until that person presents a receipt from the clerk of the court or the traffic violations bureau showing that the village parking fines outstanding have been paid.

(c)

The Monroe County tax collector and the clerk of the court are each entitled to receive monthly, as costs for implementing and administering this section, ten percent of the civil penalties and fines collected.
