City Of Las Vegas Parking Tickets Can Be Paid
With A School Supply Donation For A Limited Time
Program To Run Through June 30, 2025
The Las Vegas city manager has approved allowing qualifying parking tickets issued between May 19, 2025, and June 30, 2025, to be paid with donations of school supplies. Any supplies taken in by the city through the program will be donated to the Public Education Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
Those who have a parking infraction in the city of Las Vegas between May 19 and June 30, 2025, may satisfy their tickets by bringing new, unwrapped school supplies of equal or greater value compared to their fine to the Parking Services Offices at 350 S. City Parkway within 30 days of their citation date. A purchase receipt for the donation is required. In addition, those with tickets may purchase supplies online and have them delivered to the Parking Services Office with their citation number in the notes section of the delivery.
In July 2016, the City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the establishment of this occasional program, allowing for charitable donations in lieu of payment for parking fines, as amended Feb. 1, 2023, allowing the program to be administratively approved by the city manager.
