Do you have an unpaid Covington parking ticket? You're in luck.
The Covington Board of Commissioners is offering month-long amnesty for anyone with an unpaid parking ticket.
To qualify for the program, individuals with one or more unpaid parking tickets must pay their original fine within the month of June. All other late fees will be waived.
Northern Kentucky's largest city says it currently has 21,811 unpaid parking tickets. Anyone who has been issued a parking ticket from the city of Covington within the past six years and has failed to pay it can take advantage of the program.

“Everybody wins here,” Kyle Snyder, director of the Covington Motor Vehicle Parking Authority, said in a release. “Drivers both save money and save their car from possibly being towed, and the city both clears tickets off our books and gains revenue we weren’t previously collecting.”
The offer will only remain through June. Drivers whose cars were towed will still be responsible for any related costs, such as towing, handling or storage fees.
At the end of June, the city will resume towing and "booting" cars whose drivers have three or more unpaid parking tickets, a policy that has been suspended since the beginning of 2020.
