Pleasant Hill snow emergency fines and impound fees
During a declared snow emergency, no parking is allowed on any Pleasant Hill street. The ban lasts until 48 hours after the snow stops, or longer if conditions warrant. The police fine schedule lists $50 for leaving a vehicle on a street, alley or city lot during a snow emergency (city code 69.10). An unpaid ticket adds $10 after 30 days.
If the city impounds a car under the snow ordinance, the owner pays a $25 city administrative fee plus the towing and storage charges, which the tow operator sets.
